Synopsis: In a brilliant reimagining of Bram Stoker’s horror classic, an inventor travels back in time to save humankind from a nightmarish enslavement by vampires Joe Bodenland has figured out how to manipulate time — a discovery that leads him to Utah and an impossible sixty-five-million-year-old human gravesite. It is here that he learns of the existence of a monstrous race of intelligent predators as old as the dinosaur, and of the remarkable “train” the undead creatures use to travel back and forth from a Paleolithic past to a monstrous far future in which Homo sapiens are enslaved cattle. With the fate of all humanity at stake, Joe commandeers the ghostly transportation and rides it back to Victorian England, where he enlists the aid of a powerful ally, the author Bram Stoker, in the battle to secure Earth. But to prevent the coming apocalyptic nightmare, they must first confront and destroy the most cunning and deadly being the world has ever known: Lord Dracula, the immortal vampire.. Brian Says (from his website): . . . the story is (also) a Roger Corman romp. I suggested the idea to him when he dined with Margaret and me on Boars Hill. Later, in Florida, Roger told me he could not film the book: it was too expensive. In the mind, of course, no expense is spared. Among the many liberties taken with reality is this: that Bram Stoker, instead of living in Chelsea, is represented as owning our house. It and the grounds are accurately depicted in the story. Plus the vampires of course . . . Condition: Binding - fine, one minor scratch to the bottom page edge gilding, otherwise like new. Dust jacket - none, as issued.
