I have read Bram Stoker's classic many times, and I purchases this hoping for a comical twist to one of Western cultures greatest literary works. However what I ended up getting was a story mucked with an absurd over-use of the "f" word. I have no problem with foul language, but for this story the exorbitant use of the particular word quickly abrogates the very critical time-and-culture context of this story, especially for the Count who was the manifestation of the dark side of the Victorian era. And the overuse balked any attempts at comedy, and did not fit in at all with the language of the book.
If you are shallow enough to need superfluous use of language, I guess getting people to read such a great piece of literature is ok, but I think I'll stick to South Park, The Boondock Saints, or a Jay and Silent Bob flick for a comical fill of gratuitous language.

Matt Allen has done it again. He has taken a classic and enhanced it, not just with an amusing refrain of profanity, but with an incisive comment on the themes of beloved literature. Dracula has always been about our carnal desires. The temptation of our own nasty urges, both afraid of them and giving into them, the timeless exchange of life blood creating immortality and spurring on the human race. Dracula represents both the fear and seduction of predatory love making. Dracula's sensualist march through eastern Europe is given voice by the f-word - a word as coarse and alluring as the count himself. This is Matt Allen's genius. A true American scholar and savvy traditionalist, Allen "Americanizes" the Irishman's Bram Stroker's revolutionary novel by adding the f word and its fine gerund, a most mischievous comment on the modern American's puritanical attitudes regarding their own inner deviancy. Stroker and Allen's words caress and repel us, putting sexuality's wickedness and pleasures in sharp relief. I finished the book feeling a sense of loss that I could never read it for the first time again. A magnificent achievement.

I had to read this for my lit class. I didn't want to, but it was for school, and I needed to. When I found this, it gave me a chuckle, but actually really helped me get through this book. Just when you a get tired of the prose - an "F" word hits you upside the head for smirk. It's a great add. Also, got a A on my book report :)
