The Historian ~ Elizabeth Kostova

The historian
Worth reading: Yes
Summary: Chasing down Dracula

This is a rather interesting read. It is another work concerning the tale of Dracula. Elizabeth Kostova has blended fact with a fictional story line. This tale is told by the daughter of the Historian. She is reading the notes and letters from her father who has suddenly gone missing, who in turn is recounting the search for his Professor who was snatched by Dracula years before.

The story traces the family line back through several generations and uncovers a family's connection with an evil past.

For me, this was a slow read for the first half of the book and at times the characters can be frustrating. But this aside, it is still an excellent book and well worth the time.
