A fully updated edition of David J. Skal's Hollywood Gothic , "The ultimate book on Dracula " ( Newsweek). The primal image of the black-caped vampire Dracula has become an indelible fixture of the modern imagination. It's recognition factor rivals, in its own perverse way, the familiarity of Santa Claus.
