Stokers Manuscript is a different twist on the Dracula story. Joseph Barkeley is an expert on rare books and manuscripts in Chicago and is hired to authenticate the original notes and manuscript for Dracula by Bram Stoker. It seems like a coup until he finds himself in Romania and a prisoner in the castle of Vlad Draculs son, Dalca. As he is forced to help read the cryptic clues buried in the manuscript, he fears for himself, but knows he has to try and fight this ancient evil. Joseph and his brother were Romanian orphans brought to the U.S. by Catholic nuns. How does he fit into whats happening? Mixing fact and fiction, this is a fascinating take on how Stoker wrote the book, what happened to it, and the history of Vlad Draculs family. You wont be able to put it down.
