C. Dean Andersson - I am Dracula (Zebra Books, 1993, 350 pages)  Richard Newton Another re-imagining of Dracula's origin. There are so many of these novels, some fiercly ambitious, some not. Regradless of their enterntainment value and/or literary merits, they seldom rang true if the writers went the Historical Horror way. The difficult and complicated historical topic is so thoroughly different than a character which has been made nearly unrecognizable by its decades of media exposure. If your hero/anti-hero/monster has lend his name to breakfast cereals, your task is much more difficult.
Andersson's novel is at first a bit more grounded than his later Frankenstein, no UFO Aliens in this one, but it also descends into Fantasy with the realms of the gods and so on. |
