How It all started...

Great Book. Tells the whole story of how Van Helsing first encountered the Terrifying Creatures of the night. This story alone would make a great movie. The first encounter in the story at the professor's friend's home is very scary to read. It seems as though I was right in the room with him. The book is written as if it were a diary. Great read, fast and action packed. I highly reccomend this for all vampire fans..

The Journal of Professor Abraham Van Helsing by Charlie P2-R2

The story goes like this: The first chapter teels how Professor Allen C. Kupfer found a Journal in his mother's attic. The author then states that in the book his grandfather, Daniel Kupfer, and himself wrote notes in it as they each read it. Then all the next chapters are the journal itself notes included. The next few chapters talk about how Prof. Van Helsing listened to a speech about vampires announced by Dr.Borescu. They also talked about how Dr. Borescu invited Van Helsing to his house in Romania. There were alot of run-ins with vampires in the book and ..... you will find out when you read the book. I really liked this book(you can tell from my 5 stars). If you like a thriller packed with fright, mystery, interest, and educational stuff then this is the book for you.

Interesting idea.

I enjoyed this book. When I got it and read the introduction I said to myself "Oh, wow. Is this real or not?" Even though on the inner page it states clearly that it is a work of ficition, the entire time you read it you will find yourself wondering. The timeline of events and corresponding historical events are well marked and very well researched. I find this book to be a great prequel, filler and sequel to all of the vampire movies featuring Professor Van Helsing. Over decades he slowly begins to find himself deeper and deeper intertwined in the vampire mythos until his adventures take him to what is Modern day Iraq where he meets the source of the virus...Lilith. She then tracks him across Europe until the book ominiously ends.
