Description

As popular and influential as Bram Stoker's classic tale of nocturnal menaceis, this 1897 novel did not invent vampire fiction, nor was it alone in feedingthe Gothic fantasies of the Victorian period.

IDW Publishing presents anexpertly selected menu of outstanding vampire stories that either informed orbenefited from Bram Stoker's hugely popular creation.

These eerie tales of theundead - some 22 in all - form the core cannon of classic vampireliterature.

Chosen and introduced by celebrated literary scholar and authorLeslie S.

Klinger (The New Annotated Dracula), with illustrations by anarray of noted horror artists, In the Shadow of Dracula brings toadventuresome readers stories of nocturnal terror that have lived in Stoker'sshadow for too long.

Authors include M.R. James, Algernon Blackwood, and BramStoker himself. Included are what's considered the first true vampire story1816, as well the classic novella Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, the firstvampire tale with a lesbian theme (it's been adapted to comics and film severaltimes), and "The Family of the Vourdalak" by Aleksei Tolstoy (he's the cousin ofthe famous one), which gave Boris Karloff one of his greatest roles.
