Giveaway! 3 Copies of Dracula in Love by Karen Essex
In honor of Halloween, and thanks to the lovely Karen Essex, I have three copies of Dracula in Love to giveaway today! Haven't heard about this book (you haven't?!)? Here's what it's about:
In this wonderfully transporting novel, award-winning author Karen Essex turns a timeless classic inside out, spinning a haunting, erotic, and suspenseful story of eternal love and possession.
From the shadowy banks of the river Thames to the wild and windswept Yorkshire coast, Dracula’s eternal muse, Mina Murray, vividly recounts the intimate details of what really transpired between her and the Count—the joys and terrors of a passionate affair that has linked them through the centuries, and her rebellion against her own frightening preternatural powers.
Mina’s version of this gothic vampire tale is a visceral journey into Victorian England’s dimly lit bedrooms, mist-filled cemeteries, and asylum chambers, revealing the dark secrets and mysteries locked within. Time falls away as she is swept into a mythical journey far beyond mortal comprehension, where she must finally make the decision she has been avoiding for almost a millennium.
Bram Stoker’s classic novel offered one side of the story, in which Mina had no past and bore no responsibility for the unfolding events. Now, for the first time, the truth of Mina’s personal voyage, and of vampirism itself, is revealed. What this flesh and blood woman has to say is more sensual, more devious, and more enthralling than the Victorians could have expressed or perhaps even have imagined. (from Goodreads)

ReplyDeleteDracula is one of those books I keep meaning to read ... :) My husband and son are watching the old Dracula movie right now! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteDracula has been on my TBR forever..I just keep pushing it off for some reason!
ReplyDeleteI've read the original Dracula at least 5 times in my life. There are parts that I love and scare the living crap out of me (climbing the walls), but it just doesn't have the scares that modern horror books do. I have to remind myself of when this was written. Then it becomes scary again.
ReplyDeleteI have not read the book. Just seen the movies. Liked the movies.
