Ilustration Supposing Books Covenant with the Vampire (The Diaries of the Family Dracul #1)

A sensual, terrifying, incredibly accomplished first novel, this fascinating prequel to the classic and most popular horror novel of all time, Dracula, focuses on Dracula's great-nephew, who inherits the job of managing his great-uncle's estate...and his appetite. Written in diary form as Dracula is, this compulsively readable book has revelations that will shock and delight readers of the original. More erotic than Anne Rice, Kalogridis is a major new voice in vampire fiction. The first chilling tale in an exciting new trilogy is a rich and terrifying historical novel set fifty years before the opening of Bram Stoker's Dracula. At the castle of Prince Vlad Tsepesh, also known as Dracula, Vald's great-nephew Arkady is honored to care for his beloved though strange great-uncle...until he beings to realize what is expected of him in his new role. It seems that either he provides his great-uncle with unsuspecting victims to satisfy his needs, or Vlad will kill those Arkady loves. He is trapped into becoming party to murder and sadistic torture. And it is in his blood. When Arkady learns that his newborn son is being groomed one day to follow in his footsteps, he knows that he must fight Dracula, even if it means death.

I spent the first 320 pages yawning and comparing the characters to those of Stokers famous tale. Im glad I managed to finish the booktalk about a surprise ending! I still dont care about the characters, but I want to see that slimy bloodsucker get his just desserts.

The last fifty something pages were the best part of the book. I think because I knew I was reaching the end. The rest of the book, the three hundred pages before were just dragging on...For a horror novel, there wasn't a lot of horror in it. There was no gore and it was just depressing. Unless the "Horror" aspects were necrophilia and incest. And that's not horror that's just really nasty.I also couldn't believe that the author kept referring to a character by their first initial. It was just

It's Dracula and somewhat accurate to the history, but it throws in Elizabeth Bathory at the end of the series (which is awesome!). It's a very good read, but I will warn you, it's even a bit angsty and twisted. It's the evil Dracula that we're taught about in school (or rather, I was). It even has Van Helsing, or one of his children--it's a good twist of a story.

There a lot (too many) vampire books on the market right now. Works like those by the brilliant Anne Rice are being ignored since they are just as much "historical" as they are "Vampirific" Indeed, a number of novels have tried to attached themselves to the Dracula legacy started by Bram Stoker. Few deserve mention... this book is an exception.Written in the same style of letters and journal entries that the original Stoker novel was composed in, the prose echoes the time period in mood and

Admirable retelling of the Dracula heritage done in diary form. The style and tone are a nod to Stoker's original, but more fleshed out. I enjoyed this telling and look forward to the next in the trilogy. There is one rather gruesome scene I might have skipped. Much better than the newbie vampire tales.

Love this book, I am rereading this series in between new books I am reading. Love the layout of the book and how we see what's going on in Arkady, Zsuzsanna and Mary's point of view. Very well written!
