Holmes-Dracula File

I like Fred Saberhagan's Dracula series, as much as I love his his Merlin series. Theyare great reads and extensions on the original myths.

Great read!

I really enjoyed this book. It stayed faithful to both Stokers' and Doyles' creations, and make for a fast, yet fascinating read. Some people might find the alternate chapter writing of Dracula and Watson a bit of getting used to, but definitely worth taking the time to purchase and read.

Sherlock Holmes vs Dracula

An unexpected yet successful association. This sequel to An Old Friend of the Family is even better than the original. It gives interesting informations about how vampires are made and gives a hint to those who always wondered how Holmes manage to be so good at investigating. For those who like detective and vampire novels.

adventure which will please fans of both Vlad & Sherlock

In this phenomenal hybridization, Dracula makes his 2nd visit to Victorian London (his 1st being the original Stoker novel). Here he becomes embroiled in an unpublished Sherlock Holmes adventure featuring the heretofore unseen "giant rat of Sumatra." Saberhagen stays faithful to the original characterizations of both Doyle and Stoker, and intermixes the two in a fascinating adventure which, after reading the first several chapters, you will not be able to put down. A real page turner.
