In his book The Frankenstein Legend, author Don Glut shower not only and encyclopedic knowledge of the cinematic presentations of his subject, but also a very real insight into the literary aspects of Mary Shelley's immortal work. In The Dracula Book, he has performed the same service for countless devotees and in this case, perhaps, has tackled a somewhat harder task.
