Stoker's Manuscript by Royce Prouty
3.0
A readable, enjoyable addition to the Dracula body of books, but it does wander quite a bit. I enjoyed the atmosphere of it, but didn't really care about any of the characters - the protagonist, especially, is very dry (and not in a humorous way).
I also absolutely do not understand why either master vampire allowed said protagonist to go constantly wandering off. It was an invitation to hide things and screw them over and of course he did. They'd both have got their wives if they'd had any of the sense a centuries-old creature should have. It's winning via villain-stupidity, in the end, and atmosphere can only do so much to counter that.
