Dracula's Child

EVIL NEVER TRULY DIES: Reunite with Jonathan and Mina Harker in this “must read for Dracula fans” that continues the story of Bram Stoker’s horror classic (Den of Geek). “An epic tale of madness, temptation, and political scandal in 20th-century England.” —Booklist It has been some years since Jonathan and Mina Harker survived their ordeal in Transylvania. Having vanquished Count Dracula, they return to England to try and live ordinary lives. But shadows linger long in this world of blood feud and superstition—and, the older their son Quincey gets, the deeper the shadows that lengthen at the heart of the Harkers’ marriage. And when a gathering of old friends leads to unexpected tragedy, the Harkers’ wounds are about to be exposed . . . for a new evil is arising on the Continent.   Hailed as the true sequel to Bram Stoker’s classic, Dracula’s Child not only captures the spirit of the original novel but speaks to our contemporary world of fake news and elite-dominated politics.

Booklist

“This epic tale of madness, temptation, and political scandal set in early-twentieth-century England strikes a resonant chord with today's political climate.”

Publishers Weekly

“This adventurous and dread-inducing tale will have readers hooked.”

New York Journal of Books

“In style, story content, and characterization, Dracula’s Child is truly the sequel to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, succeeding where other, more famous attempts failed.”

Library Journal

“This novel is nestled perfectly within the popular pantheon of stories that use the frame and style of Stoker’s classic to create original and entertaining stories that add to the lure and enjoyment of the source material. Hand to readers who liked Steven Hopstaken and Melissa Prusi’s Stoker’s Wilde or Lauren ­Owen’s The Quick.”

Den of Geek

“[A] thorough tribute to Bram Stoker’s original, written in the style of Stoker’s prose and imagining a continuation of the story this is a must-read for Dracula fans.”

Mark Gatiss, co-creator of the hit BBC shows Sherlock and Dracula

“Inventive and spooky.”

Dracula's Child is a macabre delight.

“A patchwork of dark thrills, woven skillfully from new and familiar voices
