Book Reviews of HISTORIAN / A NOVEL
Book Review: If Dan Brown and Bram Stoker co-authored Dracula this would have been the result
Summary: 5 Stars
This book brought respect back to modern vampire literature. I honestly think this is a book even Bram Stoker would approve of. Hm... in a nut shell if Bram Stoker and Dan Brown had co-authored this book in the 1970's (although there are story lines going into the cold war) this would be their brain child. It was a bit long but I enjoyed it immensely. Anyone who enjoys Dracula, Frankenstein, Invisible man, etc... would LOVE this. It is the first book in a long time that I have shelved in the "classic monster novel" section of my library. I think that part of the reason I loved this book so much is that it captures the mood and general purpose of these original monster novels. Most vampire books either are excuses to write annoying or dirty romance stories or they revel in the darkness of it too much. This novel hits just the perfect balance of chills without veering into either of these fallbacks. I also liked that a lot of the story was told in the form of letters and historical documents. It is an extremely interesting (and traditional) way to tell this story. There are a few short "scenes" but they re not explicit and are easily skipped over if you are uncomfortable. I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone who likes good vampire literature!
