Even immortals have their beginnings.
An early Halloween treat arrives on October 2 with the release of Dracul, a brand new novel from Dacre Stoker, Bram Stoker’s great grandnephew, and J.D. Barker that serves as a prequel to Bram Stoker’s Dracula!
In the book, “a young Bram Stoker must confront an indescribable evil.”
EW details, “It’s 1868, and Bram, at 22 years old, has locked himself inside a desolate tower to face off against a vile and ungodly beast. Desperate to leave a record of what he has witnessed, Bram scribbles out the events that led him here — a childhood illness, a haunting nanny, stories once thought to be fables now proven true.”
The site also notes, “Dracul is considered an interpretation of the 101 missing pages from Dracula which no living person has ever seen. The book was pieced together by Dacre, bringing this story to life with his access to his great-granduncle’s editorial notes, journals, and artifacts. And if that weren’t enough to entice you, the book has also been optioned with Andy Muschietti slated to direct.”
