To mark the 40th anniversary of the Dracula Society in 2013, the Society published a collection of vampire fiction.
His Red Eyes Again contains twelve original stories written by Dracula Society members, plus an exclusive new story by 2009 Society Children of the Night Award winner, Chris Priestley.
Available in paperback and Kindle download from Amazon.
Radu R. Florescu, who was a Dracula Society Honorary Life Member, the co-author of In Search of Dracula, also co-wrote a book about his own family history, which was published in 2013.
His family is related to that of the historical Vlad Dracula.
Professor Florescu died in May 2014, sadly only nine months after the book was published.
More details here on the book's website.
Melindah Hayes' vampire resource page is an excellent source of information on those supposed first editions, and has pictures and details of a great number of editions of Dracula.
Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian has generated much interest. There is a short video relating to the book, presented by Ms. Kostova, here at meettheauthor.com.
An edition of Dracula was published in 2006 with illustrations by well-known comics illustrator Jae Lee.
From the press release:
"Jae Lee presents the original Dracula in a unique Gothic style that will appeal to both fans of the classic and a new generation of readers. A modern master of comic book illustration, he presents Stoker's complete work accompanied by forty original drawings. His subtle, evocative drawings enliven the text throughout, revealing both the terror and lure of this horror masterpiece.
Jae became the youngest professional comic book artist ever to work for a major comic book company and quickly gained recognition for his dark, Gothic work. Widely regarded as one of the most stylistically unique artists in comics today, Jae Lee has received the Eisner Award, the most prestigious award in comics, and has exhibited at the Society of Illustrators Museum in New York. He was the producer of the Hellshock series and worked with Marvel Comics on The Inhumans, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and The Uncanny X-Men."
