StineInspired by the notes DRACULA's creator left behind, Dracul is a riveting, heart-stoppingly scary novel of Gothic suspense . . .___ Dracul reveals not only the true origins of Dracula himself, but also of his creator, Bram Stoker . . . and of the elusive, enigmatic woman who connects them.

Desperate to leave a record of what he has witnessed, the young man scribbles out the events that brought him to this point - and tells an extraordinary tale of childhood illness, a mysterious nanny, and stories once thought to be fables now proved to be true.____What readers are saying:***** 'Gripping . . . has you clinging to the pages white-knuckled' ***** 'This book oozed atmosphere . . . If you love classic, atmospheric, proper old school horror, read this book'***** 'Packed full of suspense and horror to rival the Dracula story itself'
