Dracula's Child by J.S. Barnes

It is never easy to write a sequel to a classic novel but J.S. Barnes managed to pull it off. I actually managed to reread Dracula before I read Dracula's Child so it was interesting to be able to compare the original novel to the sequel written by a modern author.

Dracula's Child is written in much the same format as Dracula. The writing style is so similar to the orginal novel as is the way language is used.

It has the same dark, claustrophobic, and gothic feel to it which is impressive considering it was written 123 years later than the original classic.

I would recommend reading or rereading Dracula itself so you can understand the plot but this is really a fitting successor to Dracula.

4/5 Stars
