The NEL Dracuala series

[Jaqhama]

I've still got the entire Lyle Kenyon Engel series of Dracula.

Six books in the series.
Printed by NEL in the 70's.

Anyone else read them?
Nothing exceptional but I always like Kara the cat changling and Sanchez, the Professor's henchman.
Dracula came across as a cynical being who had seen it all many times and was constantly amused at humanity.

Hi jaqhama.

Brilliant series! We had oodles of comments about Dracula Returns and friends at our old place, and Justin interviewed Robert for the mighty Paperback Fanatic! One of my personal favourite Vault moments was when the great man took time out to write:

Hey Kev,

Actually, my favorite was Dracula's Brothers -- but what they hell do I know.

Other than the Robert Lory name. I used V. J. Santiago to write a series happily stolen from Death Wish (but I insist I was much more bloody) and I was Paul Edwards for half of the John Eagle Expeditor series (interestingly, people who have read my other stuff seem to easily figure out which ones I wrote). The Robert Lory name also was on covers of a series of Horrorscope books.

Here's a point where initial success can turn around and bite you in the butt.

After the Boris book, I suggested another short story collection--each story to be based on a zodiac sign. Great, "they" said, but let's make it a series of novels. Crap, I said. But I did it anyway. I don't think the four I did were
totally awful, but I do think they deserve a lot of the adverse criticism they generated.

And, yes, I'd be happy if you add my blog links.

Finally, although I (Bob Lory) appreciate your thanks, I have to say old Harmon wouldn't give a shit. Hey, but that's his bag. Give his some space; he's got a bad back.

Cheers!
Bob Lory

Here's a link to the original thread Robert Lory Lives! and three pages of comment on Dracula Returns

I've now read all those links.

Cheers for that, very iluminating.
