Blood of the Impaler

Wow. I read this book when it first came out 20 years ago. I was engrossed from the first. Amazed that it opened my eyes to a classic that I'd read over & over since the 6th grade - Dracula. After reading Blood of the Impaler, I went back & read Bram Stoker's classic & found I had missed a LOT. I wrote to the author to tell him my love of Horror & how his book had re-awakened that love & made me want to read even more. His reply to me is still kept framed, and the autographed copies of his other works are treasured. 20 years later & thousands of horror/paranormal books line my bookshelves of my personal library. Jeffrey Sackett's novels are of the few that I've kept over the years to return to now & again.

This is the Sequel to Dracula. It is an amazing book. I had 2 go all over the place to get a copy of this book. Y is it out of print? I dont know. It shouldnt be. Sackett is King. I love Sackett. He can write books, speak different languages, and teach the difference between mercantalism and imperialism. Fascinating book with a fascinating story written by a fascinating man.

WHAT A GREAT SEQUEL TO BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA. I READ IT AT LEAST 4 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST FEW YEARS. IT'S FUNNY, SAD, SUPRISING AND SCARY IN A VERY 90'S WAY. I HAVE NOT READ A VAMPIRE BOOK LIKE IT, EVER! I WISH I COULD SPEAK WITH SOME OF THE CHARACTERS. WITH ALL THE FOCUS THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IS PUTTING ON SUPERNATURAL BEINGS, WHY IS THIS BOOK OUT OF PRINT! I WOULD GIVE IT MORE THAN FIVE STARS IF I COULD.VERA

Blood of the Impaler is a great horror novel. This "sequel" to Bram Stoker's Dracula is scary, funny (One of the parts of the book had me laughing for at least a half an hour, which was embarassing because I was sitting on the bus all by myself, laughing.), and an absolute delight to read. I have read it at least three times and will never tire of it. Jeffrey Sackett's characters are witty and intelligent, and his bad guys are fiendishly evil. This book is a must for vampire and horror fans everywhere.

A fantastic sequel/prequel to Stoker's DRACULA that shows how Vlad became Dracula and what became of the Harkers, Van Helsing, Holmwood & Seward, Done with GREAT respect to the historical and theological implications of Vlad Dracula and his Vampire cult! Pray this gets back into print & that someone does a movie version!
