I received an copy of Dracul from the Penguin, First to Read program.
****
Dracul is a nice prequel to Stoker's Dracula. It did take a little while for me to get into the book, but once I reached part 2, I was hooked. The format was the same as Dracula, written in the form of journals and letters, which was effective. It makes me want to go back and read Dracula again. The material for this novel was source from Bram Stoker's own journals, and by far, that was the most terrifying thing to realize after reading this story. The Author's Note goes into detail, and shows some of the handwritten notes of Stoker.

Watched last night on paramount plus as I've never seen the first orphan film which intend to when I get back to the UK this weekend. Anyway the film its not that bad a film for a prequel without a doubt isabelle fuhrmann is the star of the films the fact that the film makers can somehow get her again to play a ten year old now she's in her 20s is remarkable and then there's Julia stiles as the unsuspecting mother who doesn't that Esther isn't her Esther is also good . Plus there's a twist halfway thru the movie didn't see coming anyway got to find the orignal orphan and watch it

Different to the first two
A good entry to the series
Finally got around to watching this. I really liked the original and enjoyed the second. This takes a different direction being a prequel but also with less humour.
Based on events leading up to World War 1 as a Lord tries to use his influence and means to prevent conflict.
There are some great action scenes and fights but it doesn't have the humour of the other films. Quite odd at times, serious the next. It's a bit of a mixed bag. Plenty to enjoy but also a few surprises in one way or another.

If you know anything about Gods and Goddesses of any pantheon, then you will know that things are never smooth and simple. Instead, confusion abounds until such time as it makes sense. This is how I would describe Hunter Sacrificed. It is a short prequel that nevertheless manages to impart a huge amount of information. You learn about Minerva and Arawn, the Triad, and how the Wild Hunt comes to be.

Although this was short, it was very well written, with no editing or grammatical errors that I found. This is enough to whet your appetite and definitely leave you wanting more. Definitely recommended.
