If you are interested in following up
on my Bram Stoker post of May 21, 2013, you might enjoy a new book by
historian Jim Steinmeyer entitled
Who Was Dracula? Bram Stoker's
Trail of Blood.
The author
discusses the people and stories behind the Transylvanian legend of
Count Dracula, considers the sources influencing Stoker, and depicts
the life of Stoker and his development as a writer.
Joe Hill's latest novel NOS4A2 features a young girl named
Victoria McQueen who is the only victim ever to escape from the
notorious Charlie Manx. He is rumored to have kidnapped dozens of
children, taking them to a place called Christmasland. When Manx dies
after years in prison, his body disappears. He is once again on the
road hunting—and this time he has McQueen's child whom she must
rescue.
While awaiting the release of Doctor
Sleep, you might want to investigate Stephen King's Joyland,
due to be released in early June. The
prolific horror novelist has created a crime fiction thriller in
Joyland. The novel is
set in a
small-town North Carolina amusement park in 1973, and it tells the
story of the summer in which college student Devin Jones comes to
work as a carny and confronts the legacy of a vicious murder.
