Drac Is Back by Ben Davis is an interesting horror story with plenty of gruesome details and creepy moments. One of the strengths of the book is the amount of detail used to develop the characters and set the scene. The fictional town of Scratford-On-Sea is described in enough detail to help create an unsettling atmosphere and make the events of the story feel more believable.
The overall idea and storyline of the book were interesting and kept me wanting to find out what would happen next. However, at some points, the story was difficult to follow. One of the main reasons for this was the large number of characters introduced during the first half of the book. With so many characters being introduced in a short space of time, it could sometimes be confusing to remember who everyone was and how they were connected to the story.
Despite this, I enjoyed the horror elements of the book. The gruesome descriptions added to the tension and helped create the dark atmosphere that you would expect from a horror story. The detailed character profiles and descriptions of Scratford also helped bring the fictional setting to life.
Overall, I thought Drac Is Back was a good and interesting horror book. Although the number of characters and some parts of the storyline made it difficult to follow at times, the gruesome details, detailed setting and interesting storyline made it an enjoyable read.

As soon as I saw the author’s Instagram post about this book, I knew I had to read it. If I have to describe this book in short form, I’d say: What if Terry Pratchett wrote ‘Dracula’, ‘Misfits’ and ‘Shaun of the Dead’ altogether and set it in an English coastal town like Blackpool?
I’m so glad that he self-published this book after receiving positive feedback from his followers, myself included.
This book is a bat-shit (or seagull-shit) crazy and entertaining take on Dracula. The book is slow to get through because of its large cast, but to me, this makes Scratford-on-Sea feel so lived-in; all of the characters have a purpose until the end.
There are grammatical errors in this book, but to be honest, with the rise of AI-generated writing in the market and the urgency for human-written stories, I’m personally not too fussed about it. However, I understand why this may/will be an issue for some.
For those who are familiar with Davis’ work, I just want to give a word of caution: even though Davis is primarily a children’s author, this book is definitely not written for children.
Ben, please release the paperback! I want a physical copy!
