So... have you checked out Dacre Stoker's... questionable continuations of Dracula? I read Dracula: The Un-dead out of morbid curiosity and I found it to be a good mix of incredibly frustrating and laughably bad. Haven't read Dracul, or anything else from him yet. Curious to know if you've dove into that rabbit hole and what your thoughts on it are?

[Spoilers: Name drop of a significant late novel character]

I've started both novels but haven't gotten very far in them, and I understand the ample and obvious reasons why they are not to many fans' tastes. One thing I do find endearing about Dracula: The UnDead though is, after seeing the ways that other authors of professional Dracula fanfiction seem to align themselves with specific characters (ex: Saberhagen with the Count and Newman with Seward), it is very cute to see Dacre aligning himself with Quincey Harker.
