I don't think my dark fantasies are blunt enough to actually appreicate Stoker's Dracula...I just don't care. But at some point I will read it for education's sake, then we will see if my pre-assumptions were actually in the ballpark or not.

It is a gothic classic but you'll find Dracula a much less sympathetic character, quite frankly he is a menacing monster but no less fascinating than Lestat. And Stoker's antagonist was -derived- from European vampire legend and tradition.

It will be out this summer. I forget the title of the movie, though.

I've read that too somewhere hope Hollywood doesn't thrash another classic.
