"Look at me Dexter, look at my eyes." He did as she asked, and for the first time, he noticed the redness. Her eyes were like two ruby red pools and they were growing deeper with every passing second. She moved closer to him, took his hand in hers for the first time, and he was aware instantly of an energy, a sort of electricity flowing between them.

Brian L. Porter has done it again and I have to admit that he really messed with my mind in his short story Dracula Doesn't Live Here Anymore. The two main characters, Dexter and Christina are both investigative reporters, attempting to uncover the truth regarding the deaths of five people in Dracula country. All victims have been completely drained of their blood. Vampires? A "Crazy" at large? I think you will be as surprised as I was when you discover the answer to that question.

You know when you've made that order on Amazon and it's nearly $25? You've almost got free shipping, if only... But this time I had two books in mind that each cost less than $4. I should have saved one till next time I suppose, but patience kept me from purchasing them all through last year, so I just ordered both.

Dracula doesn't live here anymore is a fun evening's read. The cover picture makes me think of teenagers, but the story's more grown-up. Freelance reporter Dexter is on his way to Romania, investigating the hyped-up "vampire murders" that have been occurring there. His contact, Christina, introduces him to amazing scenery, fascinating history, and delightful tiny village inns in forgotten villages. She has other delights to offer too as Dexter begins to fall for her.

Can a wounded young man find love again? Is there any hope for transcontinental relationships? And do vampires exist? Dead bodies and live theories abound, and surprises, and a sweetly-born love. All that, in a 31-page novella with an absolutely perfect ending. If only Brian Porter's full-length novels were in paperback...

This is a short novel by a talented author which introduces some intriguing characters that I understand will be brought back in a full length novel in the near future. I highly recommend it to those who love Vampire stories and are interested in finding new characters to love and hate, to root for, and to fear. Can't wait to read more adventures of Alan Dexter and Christina...a match made in....well, you'll see.
