“Though not as revelatory as Beowulf: A Tale of Blood, Heat, and Ashes (2007), Raven again successfully abridges a vaunted classic. His Count Dracula is mostly a noncharacter—a blond-haired presence who utters but a few lines of dialogue. Bucking current trends, the focus is instead on the friends who band together to take out the vampire. Raven does a great job fleshing out characters that even in Stoker's original felt bloodless; blokes like Holmwood and Seward finally hold their own against the likes of Van Helsing (depicted as a head-shaved and bespectacled badass). The choice to abandon Stoker's dependence on journal entries is a smart one; in fact, the two times Raven employs the device, the font makes for uncomfortable reading. Gilbert's gothic drawings, the crosshatches of which often conceal layers of spooky elements, are a perfect fit for the somber tone. Today's teens will be hard-pressed to gasp at bat transformations and missing reflections, but this will certainly whet appetites for the full Bram—and in fewer than 100 pages.”
“The story telling here is beautiful, creating a real sense of dread and supernatural menace. Smart, subtle and genuinely disturbing.”
“I've always loved Dracula, and I've tried to extract the brilliant core story from this complex book and glue readers to their seats.”
