![]() Dracula in love was told from Mina's perspective, and I loved it just as much as the original. Karen Essex did an incredible job retelling Bram Stokers Dracula. What this flesh and blood woman has to say is more sensual, more devious, and more enthralling than the Victorians could have expressed or perhaps even imagined. Now, for the first time, the truth of her secret history, and of vampirism itself, is revealed. Stoker’s Dracula offered one side of the story, in which Mina was a victim bearing no responsibility for the unfolding events. ![]() Time falls away as she is swept into a mythical voyage far beyond mortal comprehension, where she must finally make the decision she has been avoiding for almost a millennium. Mina’s version of this gothic vampire tale is a visceral journey into Victorian England’s dimly lit bedrooms, mist-filled cemeteries, and terrifying asylum chambers, revealing the dark secrets and mysteries locked within. ![]() From the shadowy banks of the river Thames to the wild and windswept Yorkshire coast, Dracula’s eternal muse-the most famous woman in vampire lore-vividly recounts the joys and terrors of a passionate affair that has linked her and the Count through the centuries, and her rebellion against her own frightening preternatura. ![]()
