The events in Bram Stoker’s novel are told from the perspective of Dracula himself. Like I said, the conceit is similar to The Frankenstein Papers. So, needless to say, I thought this sounded very interesting so I read it. The second book even features Dracula facing off with Sherlock Holmes. Saberhagen’s Dracula would become fairly popular and would spawn a series of books featuring the title character. And it’s all narrated by the Count himself. He wrote this book which looks at the events in Dracula from the Count’s point of view. Well, as the fates would have it, Saberhagen did the same thing with Dracula. Well, after deciding that I was going to try, again, to read Stoker’s Dracula, I wanted to read another book that did the same thing. Saberhagen’s book told Mary Shelley’s story from a different point of view.
It seemed like fun to read a sequel to such a seminal work in horror literature. My theme that year was, obviously, Frankenstein and I had just read Mary Shelley’s book. If this seems familiar, I reviewed a similar Saberhagen book back in 2009 called The Frankenstein Papers. Today, I take a look at a semi-sequel to that novel. Yesterday I looked at Bram Stoker’s original Dracula novel. Today is the final day of Dracula book week.
