Armed only with crucifixes, holy water, and a rifle, he prays to survive a single night, the longest of his life. Desperate to record what he has witnessed, Bram scribbles down the events that led him here &#8230; A sickly child, Bram spent his early days bedridden in his parents&#8217; Dublin home, tended to by his caretaker, a young woman named Ellen Crone. When a string of strange deaths occur in a nearby town, Bram and his sister Matilda detect a pattern of bizarre behavior by Ellen&#8211;a mystery that deepens chillingly until Ellen vanishes suddenly from their lives. Years later, Matilda returns from studying in Paris to tell Bram the news that she has seen Ellen&#8211;and that the nightmare they&#8217;ve thought long ended is only beginning. A riveting novel of gothic suspense, Dracul reveals not only Dracula&#8217;s true origin, but Bram Stoker&#8217;s&#8211;and the tale of the enigmatic woman who connects them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dracul by Dacre Stoker and J.D.
