3.0 out of 5 stars Well...it was free, December 4, 2009

Although a bit strange I found this book to be entertaining. It follows Adam as he battles the mysterious Lady Arabella, falls in love with Mimi, And encounters an assortment of odd characters. Not as good as Dracula, but if you can handle the far-fetched plot I would recommend it. Also, It is free.

Had heard this book is terrible and it is. There are the germs of at least three excellent horror books in there...unfortunately Bram couldn't decide which to focus on and jumped wildly from one idea to the other. Is it about the mysterious curse haunting the last scion of a noble family, a la Hound of the Baskervilles? Or perhaps the evil power of mesmerism? A titanic battle of wills between a strong minded woman and an evil interloper for the soul of her sister? Or is it a straight out find-and-kill-the-monster romp? You decide!

The unfocused storyline, wild leaps of (il)logic, gaping plot holes and purple prose made this the funniest book I've read for some time. If you liked Shaun of the Dead, you'll probably find this hilarious. The ending is pure gold - I can't decide whether Michael Bay or Monty Python would do a better movie adaptation of it.

Definitely worth what I paid for it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Expected more from the author of Dracula, April 3, 2011

This review is from: Lair of the White Worm (Kindle Edition)

This book is missing the beautiful prose of Dracula. Also the blatant racism leaves a sour aftertaste. This is one of Stoker's later works. I am not sure what happened to cause such a departure from the descriptive style of his earlier work.
