About this title: Travelling through two hundred years of popular culture and myth as well as graveyards and the wilds of Transylvania, Leslie S. Klinger illuminates every aspect of Bram Stoker's haunting novel (including an examination of the original typescript with its shockingly different ending). He investigates the many subtexts - from the masochistic, necrophilic, homoerotic and 'dentophilic' implications of the story to its political, economic, feminist, psychological and historical threads. Employing his superb literary detective skills, Klinger mines this 1897 classic for nuggets that will surprise ...

Description: The bestselling author of "The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes" returns with this spectacular, lavishly illustrated homage to Bram Stoker's "Dracula. " 35 color and 400 b&w illustrations. read more
"Dracula is a good story. The notes are extensive. Sometimes they are useful, and sometimes they are ridiculous. The annotator is convinced that Dracula is based on a real story - a real collection of true papers that Stoker edited. Riiiiight. But, he also added a lot of pictures, which is nice."
"Chock full of interesting information but sometimes the "joke" that Dracula is a work of nonfiction gets a little tiresome and seems to interfere with the editor's ability to impart otherwise interesting and factual information in the footnotes. Best enjoyed by people who already know that Stoker was a hack writer who got lucky."
"As a general rule, I am not particularly fond of literature written during this time period and this had the same slow, over-written sappiness to it. What I did appreciate was Leslie Klinger's annotations. Every old boring book should be annotated. It had photos of the places being discussed, pointed out inconsistencies, where the text was changed later, explained some of the words and characters that wouldn't make sense to us today and had other interesting information. Klinger I like. Stoker, not so much."
