ReviewsLeslie S. Klinger's great virtue as an editor is his sublimely willful and scrupulous disregard for the boundary between historical fact and literary falsehood. In The New Annotated Dracula, he reprises the same earlier annotated Sherlock Holmes, treating Stoker's novel as nonfiction: real events happening to real persons. After a brief preface in which he explains his trick, Klinger's edition becomes a surreal treat, book's succession of journal entries and letters., This is a book every serious reader of the horror genre should have on his or her shelf. You will read Dracula with new eyes. Fascinating!

SynopsisThis is a spectacular, lavishly illustrated homage to Bram Stoker's Dracula With a daring conceit, Leslie S Klinger accepts Stoker's contention that the Dracula tale is based on historical fact. Traveling through 200 years of popular culture and myth as well as graveyards and the wilds of Transylvania, this haunting narrative is illuminated in Klinger's notes (including a detailed examination of the original typescript of Dracula , with its shockingly different ending, previously unavailable to scholars). Klinger investigates the many subtexts of the original narrative--from masochistic, necrophilic, homoerotic, "dentophilic," and even heterosexual implications of the story to its political, economic, feminist, psychological and historical threads. Klinger mines this 1897 classic for nuggets that will surprise even the most die-hard Dracula fans and introduce the vampire-prince to a new generation of readers., In his first work since his best-selling The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes , Leslie S. Klinger returns with this spectacular, lavishly illustrated homage to Bram Stoker's Dracula .
