—R.L. Stine, NY Times Bestselling Author of Goosebumps and Fear Street

“A compelling, deep, dark drama about Dracula’s origin. Even I had to keep the lights on when reading this book!”
—John Saul, NY Times Bestselling Author

“An exhilarating fever dream of creeping dread and dark adventure. Reading Dracul is like stepping into a time machine and traveling back to a shadowy landscape ruled by nightmares. I devoured it in two sittings and was delighted and chilled with every turn of the page. You will be, too.”
—Richard Chizmar, New York Times Bestselling co-author of Gwendy’s Button Box

“Bram Stoker fans and scholars will find this a satisfying exploration of his legacy.”
—Publishers Weekly

“Brilliant. Dracul pumps fresh blood into the vampire genre by telling the story of the man who started it all — Bram Stoker. And what a story! A grand adventure that contains all the literary playfulness and mounting dread of the original Dracula. It gave me chills.”
—Riley Sager, Bestselling Author of Final Girls and The Last Time I Lied

“A terrifying and compelling prequel that reveals how a young Bram Stoker confronted evil to craft a masterpiece.”
—Library Journal

“Whatever fiendish bargain Stoker and Barker struck to resurrect the voice of Bram Stoker with such authenticity and aplomb, it was worth it, at least to their mere mortal readers. Dracul is a genius and fevered nightmare of Gothic madness, each page seeping with ominous dread and escalating horror. It is a prequel more than just worthy of the original novel— it is sure to be an undying classic of its own, haunting, terrifying and entertaining generations to come.”
—Eric Rickstad, New York Times Bestselling author of What Remains of Her and Silent Girls

“Scary as hell. Gothic as decay. Dracul will have you checking over your shoulder, under your bed, and up on the ceiling, too. All while wondering about the contents of every crate and oblong box you see.”
—Josh Malerman, Bestselling author of Bird Box

“Dracul is interesting because it sheds light on the original characters and author. Adding just the right touch of suspense increases the pace and ratchets up the tension, which appeals to the contemporary reader.”

—SF Reader

“Brilliant… Close your windows. Lock your doors. Turn the lights on. Place a silver crucifix around your neck, and make sure to have a few sharp wooden stakes nearby. In other words, prepare yourself for a transfixing journey into the diabolically delicious world of DRACUL — if you dare.”
—Chanticleer Reviews

“I thought the novel was a deliciously dark tale that is sure to satisfy Stoker fans’ enduring thirst for mystery and horror. I loved it!”
—Neil Spring, International Bestselling Author of The Ghost Hunters

“This is speculative horror writing at its best, on par with Stephen King, Joe Hill and, especially, Dan Simmons. Riveting and relentless.”
—Providence Journal

“A horror story for true fright-seekers!”
