What a fine book! Read “Hollywood Gothic: The Tangled Web of Dracula” by David J. Skal, and it was amazing. About how Dracula came to be, and what was the character’s journey to where it is today. | #dracember #dracember2024 #dracula #booksky | 💙📚 | nightmodereading.wordpress.com

Onto third book of Blood Oath, with Bite of Vengeance by R.L. Caulder. Plot thickened; things got more interesting. So, either it got better, or I got invested, this being second half of the series already. | #dracula #dracember2024 #dracember #booksky | nightmodereading.wordpress.com

Read Bite of Loyalty by R.L. Caulder, first in Blood Oath series. Wildly lacking substance, it at least had Dracula in it. I tend to enjoy the fantasy/high-fantasy Dracula the most, so maybe not all is lost, right? | #dracember2024 #dracula #booksky | 💙📚 nightmodereading.wordpress.com

There was a time when most of the classic horror genre movie franchises had that one instalment in sci-fi genre. Prince of the Darkness wasn’t spared this strange fate in Dracula 3000. | #dracula #dracember #dracember2024 | egonoctis.wordpress.com

NetGalley has provided me with “Bram Stoker: Author of Dracula” by Neil R. Storey, a pretty solid work on, well, author of Dracula. Even if not Skal’s level, definitely worth a read. | #bramstoker #dracember #dracember2024 #booksky | 💙📚 nightmodereading.wordpress.com

There are many fine classic characters, heroes, monsters, even just vampires. But Dracula outlived all, having been so adaptable. Still, clearly there’s more to it than “they could, so they made more Dracula” So, why? | #dracember #dracember2024 #dracula | egonoctis.wordpress.com/2024/12/05/d...

I’ve debated if Blood Orange by Karina Halle is a suitable book for Dracember, and came to conclusion that it really is. Dracula here is just some random man, but it’s still more than some other books I’ve read. | #dracula #dracember #dracember2024 #booksky | 💙📚 nightmodereading.wordpress.com
