Customer Reviews

Dracula not as a monster but as a man, an immortal

As I closed the cover of this book I loved the man I came to know. Not a soul-less monster but a man whose life and love was immortal. A person full of fire and passion for life, art and the wonder of the world around us. It make one wonder, what could humankind learn in several lifetimes and then ask why haven't we.

Another of the Dracula series.

Thorn was one of the eariler Dracula books and the first that dwelled extensively in two times. Half of Thorn tells the story of Dracula's life, before he became undead and provides an acurate (within reason) portrayal of the period. The other half is set in the present day southwest and brings in the characters developed in the 14-15th century.A very good read.
