Dacre Stoker Knihy

Od Draculovej smrti uplynulo štvrťstoročie, ale nad osudmi hrdinov, ktorí zbavili svet zla, sa stále vznáša jeho tieň. Rodinu Harkerovcov rozdeľuje Minina večná mladosť – dôsledok ľúbostnej aféry s kniežaťom – a Jonathanov alkoholizmus. Arthur Holmwood sa utiahol do ústrania, Abraham Van Helsing prežíva posledné chvíle života v rodnom Holandsku. Iba Jack Seward sa pokúša prebrať bývalých priateľov z letargie a varovať ich pred novým nebezpečenstvom v podobe krvilačnej grófky Bátoriovej. Quincey Harker, syn Miny a Jonathana, sa vzoprie otcovej vôli a dá sa na herectvo. Keď zistí, že Bram Stoker sa chystá uviesť na javisko adaptáciu svojho románu Dracula, kde vystupujú aj Quinceyho rodičia, začne sa hlbšie zaujímať o rodinnú históriu. Na povrch sa dostávajú tajomstvá, pred ktorými chceli mladíka uchrániť. Nad životmi bývalých hrdinov sa opäť sťahujú mračná. Navyše do Londýna sa podľa všetkého vrátil Jack Rozparovač a opakovane sa vynára otázka, či Dracula naozaj zomrel a akú úlohu zohráva v príbehu Alžbeta Bátoriová.

Inspired by the notes DRACULA's creator left behind, Dracul is a riveting, heart-stoppingly scary novel of Gothic suspense . . . 'Scary as hell. Gothic as decay' Josh Malerman 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 21-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 proved to be true.
