This book sucks totally! It should be sub-titled how liberals fight vampires. Most of what this article states was in the book with the exception of Vlad having a brother. What till you get to the ending why Draculas kidnapped the college professor. I will not spoil it for you but you come back after your are finished and let me know if you thought it was scary! Dracula is a scary book and the revised version by Stephen King - 'Salems Lot - is also scary. The Historian is a complete bore!
