Vampires are all the rage in pop-culture at the moment. From the awesome (HBO’s True Blood), the juvenile (Twilight), the sure to be lame (The CW’s upcoming Vampire Diaries from Scream/Dawson’s Creek creator Kevin Williamson) to the possible worst idea of all-time (FOX’s proposed Buffy the Vampire Slayer remake without the involvement of Joss Whedon). I consider myself to be a vampire geek through and through so I am very happy to make a recommendation for a new large print paperback from Norton Books which is The New Annotated version of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The book is edited by Leslie S. Klinger and also includes a introduction by Neil Gaiman. This is truly a treasure for any fan of vampires or gothic horror. Alongside the text of Stoker’s legendary work of fiction there is a plethora of detailed historical notes, character examinations and wonderful illustrations. It’s a master class in Dracula 101.
