"Lucas mimics Stoker's style so well that it's hard to distinguish his own writing from passages interpolated from Dracula . A fully humanized character study." - Publishers Weekly Perhaps the most infamous supporting character in all of Gothic Horror is R.M. Renfield, the unstable patient under observation at Dr. Seward's Carfax Asylum in Bram Stoker's Dracula -a pathetic wretch who prophesies the imminent arrival of "the Master" while covertly feeding on spiders and flies. Yet Stoker's 1887 classic tells us almost nothing about him. Why-and how-was such an unsavory figure chosen to be the Un-dead Count's groveling envoy? In this remarkable harbinger of the "mash-up" novel, author Tim Lucas-with the help of Stoker himself-takes us on an illuminating, magical, sometimes strangely erotic investigation into Renfield's origin, fitted seamlessly within the language and the flurry of correspondence and other documentation found in Dracula . THE BOOK OF RENFIELD reinvigorates Stoker's seminal horror masterpiece with numerous, uncanny stories within stories-alternately ghastly, marvelous, and hauntingly tender, framing DRACULA's robust blood-and-thunder with a flair for meta and modernity. This Newly Revised Edition is extensively reworded and restructured, incorporating many paragraphs of content deleted from the original 2005 text. Also included is a contextualizing new Foreword by horror expert Stephen R. Bissette and a substantial Afterword by the author.
