A unique new presentation of Bram Stoker's classics

This original graphic novel collects a number of unique comic book adaptations of Bram Stoker's written works. It's amazing to see the quality of Stoker's library and nice to see a collection that highlights his works beyond the famous Dracula novel.

This newly reprinted edition features a cover by Mark A. Nelson and collects graphic adaptations of the aforementioned Dracula as well as The Judge's House, The Bridal of Death, Torture Tower, The Vampire Hunter's Guide, The Wondrous Child and Lair of the White Worm.

Dracula

Rich Rainey expertly transforms the written word of Stoker's most famous work into a solid graphic narrative that makes it one of the best and most faithful comic book interpretations of the classic novel to date. The story is presented in a way that is appropriate, the length of 46 pages perfectly retells the crux of the story without being mired in recreating every detail, but manages not to loose any key plot points either.

Joe Ollmann's work perfectly fits with the shadowy settings and grim foreboding of the story. Possibly some of Ollmann's best work to date.

The table of contents of the book also includes a haunting one page scene interpretation by Michael Manning.

The Vampire Hunter's Guide

Another re-interpretation of the classic Dracula novel, this time by Tom Pomplun and Hunt Emerson.

This interpretation may be one of the most unique and humorous I've seen done of Dracula. The story is a light hearted romp through the world of hunting the undead.
