Re: vampires
This tale loses all credibility when it tries to make Dracula into a hero. Any vampiric detail that doesn't suit the author is dropped and new ones invented until Drac becomes unrecognizeable. Vampires walking about in the sunlight, born as twins to normal folk, immune to crosses...Holmes fares a little better and has a few good moments. And the gimmick of alternating chapters by alternating narrators is clever. But fans of Stoker and Conan Doyle may want to look elsewhere.
