À propos de cet audio

 Dracula the Un-Dead is a bone-chilling sequel based on Bram Stoker's own handwritten notes for characters and plot threads excised from the original novel. Dracula the Un-Dead begins in 1912, 25 years after Dracula "crumbled into dust".

Van Helsing's protégé, Dr. Jack Seward, is now a disgraced morphine addict obsessed with stamping out evil across Europe. Meanwhile, an unknowing Quincey Harker, the grown son of Jonathan and Mina, leaves law school for the London stage, only to stumble upon the troubled production of Dracula directed and produced by Bram Stoker himself. The play plunges Quincey into the world of his parents' terrible secrets, but before he can confront them, he experiences evil in a way he had never imagined. One by one, the band of heroes that defeated Dracula a quarter-century ago is being hunted down. Could it be that Dracula somehow survived their attack and is seeking revenge? Or is their another force at work whose relentless purpose is to destroy anything and anyone associated with Dracula?

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Energetically paced and packed with outrageously entertaining action, this supernatural thriller is a well-needed shot of fresh blood for the Dracula mythos." ( Publisher's Weekly)

Strong narration. This is the 1st time playing after finishing Bram Stoker's DRACULA.

I am admittedly a bit of a vampire genre junkie, though I don't tap much into the raunchy stuff, I do enjoy a good b-level or even c-level vampire flick. still though I found this book difficult to enjoy on any level. as a dabbler in writing I finally understood the reccomendaion for an author to 'show' not 'tell' the reader the story which I account to what made most of this story unpleasant. for the most part the author just 'fills in' all these knowledge gaps by telling you exactly what's happening, while meanwhile the characters haven't discovered it themselves. this makes it frustrating to read as instead we watch the main chapters bumble around while for the listener it's ancient history and in a way we painfully wait for them to 'figure it out'. this made the novel a real pain and I found unpleasant to get through. instead of being guided through the story alongside our cast, discovering the mystery and intrigue as we go along its thrown out at us immediately so that the 'twist' by the time it arrives has mold growing on it, and so tired of waiting, as a reader the general feeling of impatience totally overwhelms any connection emotionally to the characters.

that's just getting to the writing 'style' let alone the plot which while POTENTIALLY bearable and interesting with GOOD writing becomes eye rolling as the writing can't even carry a single trope. let's not even get into the destruction and manipulation of all of Bram's characters (let alone the insult to Bram himself who is MADE into a character!)

the story left me with a feeling of annoyance, and gratitude that it was over by the time it was through. and more than that, like his dissendant suffers from a nasty bought of jealousy and actively attempted to insult and undermine Bram's work.

decent performance for a bad novel
