Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
When Lily Shaw elopes with Quincy Harker, the man who had been nineteen-year-old John Shaw's battlefield commander, John and his fiance Mary Seward follow them to Romania where they discover that descendants of Count Dracula have a plan for the Shaw family: They will provide necessary fresh blood for the family line. Told in letters and journal entries, the story opens in the middle of the Great War, where Harker is a fearless warrior and Shaw is eager to join him in the carnage. Readers with a bloodlust of their own will be happy to know that after an interlude in which John recovers from an injury and Quincy and Lily fall in love, the carnage continues: sailors die aboard Harker's ship, wolves decapitate Lily's companion as they cross Transylvania, and the castle turns out to be full of vampires. John and Mary's armament—mainly holy water and communion wafers—seems pitiful in the face of such danger. However, the horror is curiously distant, removed perhaps because it is described in slightly formal language, befitting the early 20th century setting. It is hard to distinguish the individual voices, although the letters and entries are clearly labeled and the personal preoccupations are obviously different. This book is for able readers who cannot get enough of the genre. 2005, Razorbill/Penguin, Ages 13 to 18.

From The Critics
In 1916, Englishman John Shaw is stationed on the front lines of World War I. There is something strange but fascinating about his commanding officer Quincey Harker. After being wounded, John is sent home with fever raging. Mary Seward nurses him back to health and befriends his sister, Lily. Harker, however, arrives and seduces Lily before Mary and John discover that Harker is descended from Dracula, the fiend whom Mary's father helped to destroy years ago. Mary and John set out for Romania following Harker and Lily, hoping to catch them before they wed. In the dark, crumbling Castle Dracula, John and Lily discover horrible secrets about their lineage, and Harker wrestles with his father's sinister plan to reassert the family's control over the countryside. Reverses beset them all, and Mary finally must fight her way alone out of a castle full of vampires. Told in journal entries and letters like Stoker's Dracula, to which this book is a direct sequel, Cary's gothic romance starts slowly. Bloody scenes of war and slightly spooky incidents involving Harker on the battlefront give way to some marginally soppy romance moments before the action finally kicks in. Mary, Lily, John, and Harker share the telling of their story with little differentiation among their voices but a lot of fevered recording of events after catastrophic things have occurred. John Shaw's 180-degree character shift near the novel's end is wholly unbelievable. Those who have read Stoker's book and enjoyed it might find this one interesting. Teens will likely think that Alan Moore handled Stoker's Mina better in his League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (America's Best Comics, 2003), and Elaine Bergstrom's Mina (Ace, 1994),although only for older teens, is a better sequel. VOYA CODES: 3Q 2P S (Readable without serious defects; For the YA with a special interest in the subject; Senior High, defined as grades 10 to 12). 2005, Razorbill/Penguin Putnam, 336p., Ages 15 to 18.

    a lover of all things with fangs

    It's amazing! I never thought that this book could be so astounding! And most important it takes place when a real war was going on and described everything in perfect detail. I can't wait for the sequels!
