From Publishers Weekly

Warrington's so-so sequel to Bram Stoker's classic has the misfortune to follow on the heels of a superior sequel with a nearly identical title, Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt's Dracula: The Un-Dead (Reviews, Aug. 24). Seven years after Van Helsing and the rest of the vampire hunters ended Dracula's existence, the survivors return to Transylvania to perform a Christian cleansing ritual and to reassure themselves the evil is truly destroyed. No one will be surprised when their journey ends up triggering the monster's resurrection. Once again, the count threatens the body and soul of Mina Harker, whom he pursued in Stoker's Dracula. Amid less than compelling variations on the original plot, Warrington (Elfland) throws in a subplot about the search undertaken by a professor friend of Van Helsing's for an academy run by the devil, whose students included Dracula, but its resolution will satisfy few.

Review

Originally published (as a mass-market title) in the UK in 1997, this is a direct sequel to Bram Stoker's classic novel. It's set seven years after the end of Dracula. The vampire is dead, supposedly, and Jonathan and Mina Harker are still haunted by the memories of that terrible time. Although it seems a bit improbable, the Harkers, along with the vampire hunter Van Helsing, decide that the best way to unclutter their minds is to go back to Transylvania; they join up with Emil and Elena Kovacs, bound for Transylvania to paint landscapes. Skipping to the meat of the story, it turns out Dracula isn't dead after all (there's a reason they call vampires the "undead," after all), and soon he's terrorizing Jonathan, Mina, and Van Helsing. The author sticks closely to Stoker's original format, telling the story through letters and journal entries, and the prose, while a bit purple at times, evokes the creeping dread of Stoker's own style. A worthy sequel to Dracula, though not destined to become a classic in its own right. --Booklist, 15th October 2009
