First thoughts about ‘Dracula the Un-Dead’ novel by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt:

I just opened up Dracula’s sequel, Dracula the Un-Dead by co-authors Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt. This novel is set about 25 years after the events of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

I wanted to see what it is all about.

So here’s my first thoughts about the novel. (I only read up to 100th page, I will continue reading and sharing my thoughts in subsequent posts at a later date.)

This is 100% fanfic, written by Bram Stoker’s great-grand nephew and Ian Holt.

It is written in third person POV and it is in different writing style to the Bram Stoker’s Dracula, uses much more modern English language.

This is a letter from Mina Harker, to her son Quincey Harker, found in the prologue of the Dracula the Un-Dead novel.

Please notice Mina called Dracula “Prince Dracula”, this was not mentioned anywhere in the original novel.

In Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Mina was not involved with Dracula romantically nor it was hinted at, this was a new addition in the Dracula the Un-Dead novel.

.

The following images shows Dracula and Professor Van Helsing getting in a scuffle:

…really? Count Dracula tripped over his own cloak and knocked over a lamp table? I have never seen him stumble in the Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel.

.

Anyway, within the first few pages of reading the novel, I immediately came upon a scene which was not appropriate for young people.

Long story short: Dr Jack Seward saw Elizabeth Bathory brutally tortured and killed a young woman, then

“Yet nothing in the doctor's bleak past could have prepared him for the macabre scene he witnessed next. The young woman, pathetic gurgles issuing from her throat, was suspended above the edge of the empty mosaic bath. Bathory stood at the bottom; arms outstretched, neck arched back, magnificently naked. She turned her palms upward. It was a signal. In that instant, the dark-haired Woman in White used her fingernail to slit the young lady's throat and pushed her to the end of the track just above where Bathory waited. Seward saw Bathory's fanged mouth open wide as she orgasmically bathed in a shower of blood.”

I- wow. Just wow. I wouldn’t want to recommend this novel to ANYONE who loves reading Bram Stoker’s novel.

Rating: 2/5, purely for desecrating everything Bram Stoker’s Dracula stood for and made the characters unrecognisable.

FROM THE SHADOWS | Official Trailer, Poster & Images

FROM THE SHADOWS, the supernatural horror feature film starring Academy Award® nominee and Golden Globe® winner Bruce Davison (“Ozark,” Willard”), Selena Anduze (“Wanda/Vision,” “Creepshow”), and Tony nominated and multiple Emmy Award winner, Keith David (“Nope,” “The Thing”) will open in five theaters around the country from September 22-28. From The Shadows will have its official red carpet premiere in Los Angeles on September 19th, 2023.

(L-R) Selena Anduze as Dr. Amara Rowan and Jim Thalman as Peter in FROM THE SHADOWS.

When the enigmatic leader of the Hidden Wisdom cult, Dr. Joseph Cawl (Bruce Davison), and eighteen of his followers all die in a mysterious inferno, the five young survivors suspected of igniting the blaze contact paranormal researcher Amara Rowan (Selena Anduze) to help uncover the real cause of the fire. When they stumble upon the truth behind the disappearance of Cawl’s partner, Dr. Leonard Bertram (Keith David), they become the target of a deranged killer that wants to slaughter them all.

Keith David as Dr. Leonard Bertram

Directed by Mike Sargent, written by Mike Kuciak with story by Ian Holt, (co-author, with Dacre Stoker, of the international bestseller, “Dracula the Un-Dead”, the official sequel to Bram Stoker’s classic 1897 novel, “Dracula”), Mike Kuciak, and Mike Sargent, From The Shadows is produced by Michael Alden, Ian Holt and Mike Kuciak of Alt-House Productions in partnership with PFG Films. Special Effects makeup is designed by Vincent J. Guastini, with sound design by Academy Award® winner Cecelia Hall. The film’s score is composed by horror legend, Alan Howarth, who collaborated with John Carpenter for the scores to classics such as “Halloween,” “They Live,” “Prince Of Darkness,” and “Escape From New York.”

Claire Mack as Tina

“What intrigued me most about directing this film was the idea of fear of the unknown,” said Mike Sargent. “The idea that there is something malevolent waiting for us in the darkness that we can’t see but we know is there. I also think we live in a world where we often wonder how people could commit some of the evil that they do. So, when you put this together with the ability to work with two icons like Keith David and Bruce Davison… It’s literally a genre lover’s dream come true.”

From The Shadows won the Best Feature Award at The Horrorween Festival, was a finalist at The Stranger Days Horror Festival, is an official selection of the Phobia Film Festival in Missouri and The Port Of Fear Film Festival, Kenosha, WI.

Ester Tania as Denise

There will also be an In-Theater Contest in all of the theaters where From the Shadows will be playing. Keith David shot a short video that will screen before the feature instructing the audience on how to capture an on-screen QR code which will allow them to enter the contest to win.

Vampires in the TVD universe

Vampires are magically reanimated human corpses that are inhabited by the spirits of the deceased person and who closely resemble the living humans they were before their transformation.

Books 1-10 of the 39 Clues! Check it out! I worked hard on this little project, and it's not the end! I already plan to read the sequel series, Cahills Vs Vespers, as well as other nostalgic book series I read growing up.

I was originally inspired to make this series because I hadn't seen anyone cover the entire book series, although Controlled Chaos did 2 great videos on the first 2 books I highly recommend! Links below:
