The Book of Renfield: A Gospel of Dracula

"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.
