Stoker, B. (2008). The New Annotated Dracula (1st ed.). In (L. Klinger, J. Byrne, Editors and N. Gaiman, Introd.). New York: W.W. Norton & Co.

The Original Dracula was published in1897 after years of research, Bram, short for Abraham, Stoker wrote the infamous novel that gave birth to a truly immortal legend. Klinger annotates the classic horror novel in the historical facts that Stoker based his research on. With side-by-side annotations that are created by Klinger with the actual Stoker manuscript, readers can see the metamorphosis from Stoker to publisher. They can also understand the context of which the modern day shrouds. Beautiful and informative illustrations and scholarly additions make this version of Dracula a shelf jewel as well a special way to either re-read Dracula or experience it for the first time! This version begs for time and patience in its exploration. Neil Gaiman writes the introduction.

Love. Love. Love this edition.
