Book description
The official sequel to Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula, written by
his direct descendent and endorsed by the Stoker family
The story begins in 1912, twenty-five years after the events described
in the original novel. Dr. Jack Seward, now a disgraced morphine addict,
hunts vampires across Europe with the help of a mysterious benefactor.
Meanwhile, Quincey Harker, the grown son of Jonathan and Mina, leaves
law school to pursue a career in stage at London's famous Lyceum Theatre.
The production of Dracula at the Lyceum, directed and produced by Bram
Stoker, has recently lost its star. Luckily, Quincey knows how to
contact the famed Hungarian actor Basarab, who agrees to take the lead role.
Quincey soon discovers that the play features his parents and their
former friends as characters, and seems to reveal much about the
terrible secrets he's always suspected them of harbouring. But, before
he can confront them, Jonathan Harker is found murdered.
The writers were able to access Bram Stoker's hand-written notes and
have included in their story characters and plot threads that had been
excised by the publisher from the original printing over a century ago.
Dracula is one of the most recognized fictional characters in the
world, having spawned dozens of multi-media spin-offs. The Un-Dead is
the first Dracula story to enjoy the full support of the Stoker estate
since the original 1931 movie starring Bela Lugosi. Dacre Stoker is
the great grand nephew of Dracula author, Bram Stoker. He lives with his
wife, Jenne, in South Carolina. The Un-dead is his first novel.
Ian Holt studied at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts
before becoming a renowned screen writer.
