Description

Deep in the wilds of New England, a man who worked on the 1931 Dracula still lives. Haunted by the experience ever since, he has built an exact replica of Castle Dracula and become obsessed with bringing the movie vampire to life. But when one sets out to make monsters, there are risks-as Adam Quinn is about to discover. A lifelong fan of Dracula and the classic horror from Universal Studios, he is invited to spend the weekend at the castle. It's a horror lover's dream: the chance to find out what it was like to work with Bela Lugosi, Dwight Frye, director Tod Browning, and all the others. But dreams can turn into nightmares... Dracula Lives asks the question: Where is the line between movies and real life? Perhaps there isn't one.

Author Biography:

I was born and raised in the D.C. where tourists don't go--a land of soul food and Scrapple. We lived behind the neighborhood movie theater, and my mother took me to everything from the time I was barely out of diapers. When I reached the ripe old age of about six, I couldn't wait for the Saturday creature features. Giant mutant bugs, the monsters of Ray Harryhausen, Roger Corman's Poe films, and the frightfests of William Castle were among the early influences that warped my writer's muse into a breeding ground for--to borrow a line from Morbius in Forbidden Planet--my "Monsters from the Id." In Castle's The Tingler, when Vincent Price told us to scream because the Tingler was loose in the theater, you better believe I screamed. On the literary front I soon discovered Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft and followed the trail they blazed into Poe's "ghoul-haunted woodland of Weir."
