Format:Paperback
Florescu is a historian descended from one of Dracula's aristocratic victims. He has done a great deal of research on the subject and has produced the most readable of Vlad III's biographies. The book includes translations of several contemporary documents and an extensive bibliography. I would recommend it to anyone interested in history, literature (Bram Stoker, Dracula), movies (Nosferatu) and folklore.

By J. Kelly VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Florescu and McNally have done a decent job of telling the sotry of Vlad Tepes, or Vlad Dracula, in this book. Unfortunately, in order to get at it, you have to wade through some poor writing. In addition to poor prose, the authors seem content with providing only a storyline. They do not delve too deeply into context, which is essential to gaining a good understanding of why Vlad III Dracula rose to and fell from power so many times.

In my research, there were better accounts of Vlad's life. The best, however, is almost £30, so this is a good start for the beginner, but definitely not the end.

Appraisal 24 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
For many years I have been a fan of horror and stumbled across this book quite by accident.
Since having read Dracula, Prince Of Many Faces I have gone on to read other works by the same authors, on this legendary ruler and find the subject fascinating.
His life, times and personality springs off the page in thrilling detail that never becomes tedious or boring.
I would highly recommend anyone with an interest in history or horror to read this book. The only frustration readers are likely to have is when others around them make the same old comment of "Dracula was a vampire count wasn't he?", the urge to put people right is irresistable!
