The Bedside, Bathtub and Armchair Companion to Dracula by Mark Dawidziak
Looks at various aspects of the Dracula phenomenon, including entries on the psychological and sociological implications of the book and the stage plays; the movies; television versions; and actors and the historical Dracula, Vlad the Impaler.
This Companion to Dracula is very informative, entertaining and well written, providing a survey - from one individual's perspective - of the Dracula phenomenon, from the book itself and its enigmatic author to films, cartoons and merchandise..I highly recommend this book for anyone with a general interest in the subject who wants to know more. -- Elizabeth Miller, author of Reflections on Dracula, Dracula: The Shade and the Shadow, Dracula: Sense & Nonsense, Dracula, a volume on Dracula for the Dictionary of Literary Biography and, most recently, A Dracula Handbook.
So many books have been written about Dracula -- analytical academic tomes, pithy trivia lists, coffee table beauties -- that my shelves groan under their weight. So why would anyone need yet another one detailing Bram Stoker's life, novel, all the stage, film and television adaptations, the legacy of the Count from Aurora models to cereal boxes? In the case of Mark Dawidziak's latest, it's so you don't have to read all the rest. -- Lisa Ladouceur * Rue Morgue *
So you think you know all there is to know about Bram Stoker's Dracula? Mark Dawidziak knows more . . . If you can't get your fill on Dracula after reading this book you're already undead. * Zacherley.com *
Corny pun ahead: If you're at all into vampire lit, you'll wanna sink your teeth into it . . . It helps when an author like Dawidziak harbors enormous enthusiasm for the subject, because it's infectious. -- Rod Lott * bookgasm.com *
The Bedside, Bathtub & Armchair Companion to Dracula is jam-packed with historical facts, literary references and vampire trivia. Renowned for his expertise on horror film, literature and television, author Mark Dawidziak engages the reader with numerous entertaining anecdotes and little-known facts regarding Dracula's creation and lasting influence.
