Great-grand-nephew of Dracula
The Guardian reports on a new Dracula sequel, this time authored by one of Stoker's descendants. Interesting plot setup:
[S]et in London in 1912, a quarter of a century after the Count apparently "crumbled into dust". Vampire-hunter Van Helsing's protégé Dr Seward is now a disgraced morphine addict, and Quincey, the son of Stoker's hero Jonathan, has become involved in a troubled theatre production of Dracula, directed and produced by Bram Stoker himself. The play plunges Quincey into the world of his parents' terrible secrets, but before he can confront them his father is found murdered, impaled in Piccadilly Circus.
I will keep my expectations low. But if it's decent, shall we blog-read together?

I'm in, of course.

*nods* Disinterring the Count should be interesting.

I am not that much of a Dracula fan, but this sounds like too much fun to pass up!
