The authoritative sequel to Bram Stoker's original horror classic.
A quarter of a century after Count Dracula "crumbled into dust,"
Quincey Harker-the son of Jonathan and Mina Harker-leaves law
school to pursue a career on stage, only to stumble upon the
troubled production of "Dracula," directed and produced by Bram
Stoker himself.
As the play plunges Quincey into the world of his parents'
terrible secrets, death begins to stalk the original band of heroes
that defeated Dracula a quarter-century ago. Could it be that the
count survived and is now seeking revenge? Or is there another, far
more sinister force at work whose relentless purpose is to destroy
anything and anyone associated with Dracula, the most notorious
vampire of all time?

Inspired by the notes DRACULA's creator left behind, Dracul is a
riveting, heart-stoppingly scary novel of Gothic suspense . . .
BBC/Netflix adaptation of Bram Stoker's original Dracula is coming this
Winter, by Steve Moffat and Mark Gatiss - the team behind Sherlock . . .
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.
It is 1868, and a 22-year-old Bram Stoker has locked himself inside an
abbey's tower to face off against a vile and ungodly beast. He is armed
with mirrors and crucifixes and holy water and a gun - and is kept
company by a bottle of plum brandy. His fervent prayer is that he will
survive this one night - a night that will prove to be the longest of
his life.
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 proven true.
The official sequel to Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula, written
by his direct descendent and endorsed by the Stoker family. The
story begins in 1912, twenty-five years after the events described
in the original novel. Dr. Jack Seward, now a disgraced morphine
addict, hunts vampires across Europe with the help of a mysterious
benefactor. Meanwhile, Quincey Harker, the grown son of Jonathan
and Mina, leaves law school to pursue a career in stage at London's
famous Lyceum Theatre. The production of Dracula at the Lyceum,
directed and produced by Bram Stoker, has recently lost its star.
Luckily, Quincey knows how to contact the famed Hungarian actor
Basarab, who agrees to take the lead role. Quincey soon discovers
that the play features his parents and their former friends as
characters, and seems to reveal much about the terrible secrets
he's always suspected them of harbouring. But, before he can
confront them, Jonathan Harker is found murdered. The writers were
able to access Bram Stoker's hand-written notes and have included
in their story characters and plot threads that had been excised by
the publisher from the original printing over a century ago.
Dracula is one of the most recognized fictional characters in the
world, having spawned dozens of multi-media spin-offs. The Un-Dead
is the first Dracula story to enjoy the full support of the Stoker
estate since the original 1931 movie starring Bela Lugosi.
