The Ann Radcliffe Award Winning Book! Back in Print at Last!"e;As an exhaustive, comprehensive, and in-depth survey of the Dracula character as he appears throughout history and in all media up to the present day, this book is without peer. Extremely detailed, well-researched, and generously illustrated with black & white photos, some quite rare. A landmark in documenting the horror genre. Be sure to also check out Donald Glut's companion books, "e;The Frankenstein Legend"e; and "e;Classic Movie Monsters,"e; both equally as authoritative."e; Amazon Verfied 5-star reviewPLUS: new 50 page Author's Afterword with dozens of additional never and rarely seen photo and posters.'This massive tome might be the ultimate work on the immortal count.
