New Authorized Dracula Sequel In the Works

Bram Stoker’s great grandnephew, Dacre Stoker has sold the rights to the sequel of Bram’s classic novel to an alliance of publishers, including Dutton US, Harper UK, and Penguin-Canada. The new novel will appear in October 09. The writers were able to access Stoker’s original hand written notes for thenovel , which is to be called “The Undead”. Perhaps the most exciting news about this deal is that horror movie fans will be seeing a sequel as well.

In order to coincide with the release of the novel, a feature film will be made. While there isn’t much news concerning directors or actors, a small tidbit has been released concerning the plot. The story takes place in London, in 1912. Someone is stalking the band of adventurers who defeated the vampire Dracula almost 25 years ago. It will be interesting to see how this pans out, especially since the movie will be adapted from Stoker’s hand written notes. You can expect to hear more information on this deal in the coming months, as a studio is chosen and directors and actors are signed to the project. Dracula fans should be very excited about the potential this film/novel deal offers.
