Illustrated endpapers. 424 pp. A sequel to the original "Dracula" authored by Dacre Stoker, the great-grandnephew of Bram Stoker and noted Dracula expert Ian Holt. Set 25 years after the band of heroes destroyed Dracula at his castle in Transylvania. Jonathan and Mina Harker have raised their son Quincey into a fine, if at times naive, young man, even while their marriage was disintegrating. Dr. Seward, the brilliant physician, is plagued by drug abuse and mania; Arthur Holmwood, the brave fiancé of Lucy, is now full of anger and regret; Van Helsing, leader of the brave band, is now a sickly old man. When Quincy Harker leaves law school to pursue his dream of acting, he stumbles on a production of the play "Dracula", directed by one Bram Stoker. It plunges Quincy into the world of his parent's terrible secrets and meets evil that rocks him to his core. One by one, the band of heroes that defeated Dracula is being hunted down. Could it be that the Vampire King somehow survived and is seeking revenge?
