I read it back in 1984 when stuck someplace unpleasant on emergency leave.<br /><br />The best modern treatment of the Dracula legend, in my opinion, is a very under-read novel called "The Historian".....it is gripping and with more creep than the average steep river bank!Labryshttp://www.herlander-refugee.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-73624104329004827612012-05-26T18:48:55.525-05:002012-05-26T18:48:55.525-05:00I really should read the book.
