Book Reviews of Dracula : Asylum (Dracula (Dh Press)) (Bk. 1)
Book Review: Sequel to the 1931 Dracula.....should have stayed buried.
Summary: 2 Stars
The first in a series of novels that further the adventures of the Universal Monsters. The first is appropiately, the film that started it all. That film is Tod Browning's Dracula(1931) with Bela Lugosi.
This book follows the story, MANY years later as World War one is raging across Europe. In typical fashion, it turns out that Dracula is still resting dormant in Carfax Abbey, and some genius pulls that stake from his heart. So, he's back to "life" and is able to secure the aid of Renfield(he's STILL alive!?) and begin his reign of terror.
The book is never once believable and plays with the myth freely, often to ludicrous effect. Like for example, that the stake didn't actually KILL Dracula, but keep him in a comatose state for over twenty years! And that all this time his dreams have been forming World War One!
If you can swallow that bull, than you'll probally enjoy this novel,however if that thought causes you to wince than be warned. There are MORE such "surprises" in store for you.
You've been warned.
