Although the book was very informative and provides a lot of background information concerning the novel Dracula and the vampire, I felt that at time Leonard Wolf was too adamant at times. I felt that he was really trying to convince the reader that his view point was the only accurate one, while it left me doubting whether he wasn't reading too much into it. Yet overall I find that this book gives you a good overview of the works that influenced Dracula and its 'descendants'.

Interesting and cool, a fun and thought-provoking read. Lots of cool features like beautiful illustrations, interviews with Dracula depicting directors and a calender to track the events of the Dracula novel day by day.

Si uno quiere tener un entendimiento profundo sobre el mundo mítico de los no muertos, el libro de Leonard Wolf es un excelente punto de partida pues cubre todos los temas que explican al mito de los vampiros desde diferentes perspectivas que resultan esenciales para entender las razones de porque los no-muertos son hoy en día un mito tan popular y vigente.
