Don D'Ammassa's review of DRACULA TRANSFORMED
Dracula Transformed & Other Bloodthirsty Tales"Dracula Transformed by Mark McLaughlin & Michael McCarty, Wildside, 2016, $12.00, ISBN 978-1479422999
Vampires remain very popular in contemporary fiction, although largely in the romance genre in recent years. This is a collection of short stories that explore various aspects of the vampire legend, and generally these vampires are not nice creatures at all. Best of the lot is the title story, a sequel to Bram Stoker’s original. Ten other stories play with different powers, different aspects of the legend, and different tones including humor. The authors have a few surprises lurking in these pages and despite the common theme, the stories themselves are reasonably varied. 11/1/16"
