1.0 out of 5 stars Sickening, 4 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Sharpness on the Neck (The Dracula series) (Hardcover)
At first, I thought this would be a another of Saberhagen's works to be treasured, to be placed on my bookshelf next to his Swords series. However, the believable characters and highly entertaining historical ties were greatly overshadowed by the perverse behavior of many of the book's characters. It would be redundant to call that sort of thing "gratuitous" innuendo. This would have been a great one, were it not for the numerous disgusting passages found therein. My copy of this book will be a helpful firestarter next time I go camping.

4.0 out of 5 stars Different type of book., 29 Aug 1998
By A Customer
Philip and June Radcliffe are kidnapped on their honeymoon. They were confrined and told it was for their own protection that they were kidnapped. Their captor called himself Mister Graves. He, and a young woman, were vampires.

Of course, Philip and June do not believe them. Slowly, however, they find out all they have been told is true. These vampires WERE protecting them...from Mister Graves's brother.

Philip Radcliffe was named after his ancestor, who was the bastart don of Benjamin Franklin. Mister Graves was as close to death as a vampire could be, thanks to his brother, Radu. The Philip of long ago had saved the life of Mister Graves. This earned him and his descendants Radu's hatred.

Mister Graves had vowed to save Philip and June from Radu who planned to behead them with a guillotine and drink their blood.

3.0 out of 5 stars An exercise in name-dropping, 13 Jun 1998
By A Customer
I think this series is deteriorating a bit. I quite enjoyed the earlier books that I've read, but this one lacks something. As usually happens, the modern-day tie-in to the historical story is dull and practically pointless. The rest of the book is fairly good. I fail to see, though, why Saberhagen feels his books are incomplete without at least one famous historical character popping up. Dracula does fine on his own!
