About this listen

In Dracula's Child, Bram Stoker's classic is reborn. Capturing the voice, tone and style of the original, this novel is perfect for fans of Dracula and contemporary horror.

It has been some years since Jonathan and Mina Harker survived their ordeal in Transylvania. But shadows linger long in this world of blood feud and superstition - and the older their son Quincey gets, the deeper the shadows that lengthen at the heart of the Harkers' marriage.

Jonathan has turned back to drink, Mina finds herself isolated inside the confines of her own family. Quincey himself struggles to live up to a family of such high renown. There is darkness both within the marriage and without - for new evil is arising on the continent, and the vestiges of something forgotten long ago is finally beginning to stir.

I loved that the story followed on, in the same vein as the original, with many of the same characters,

Love love love this!

The beginning promises a very atmospheric contiuation od the Original dracula. The first 3/4 are kind of slow but fitting the theme. However main the characters all feel the same forsome reason. The the plot is conveluted and it becomes weirdly fastpassed and superficial at the end. Weird choice made in Prologue.

Still it was fun and better written than alot of other dracula story's.

Starts of great but just gets worse and worse.

This is an absolutely outstanding audiobook. The narrators give carefully judged and thought through performances. The book (like it's famous prequel) is formed of diary entries, letters and extracts from other documents. Both Jonathan Keeble and Emma Gregory play multiple roles and are flawless in every single characterisation. The writing is rich, intelligent and evocative. Every beat of the narrative rings true and the horror is deliciously cumulative with a slow but sure building sense of dread, Highly recommended especially if you are a fan of the original 1897 Stoker novel.

Gothic perfection
