Historia
Late one night, exploring her father's library, a young woman finds an ancient book and a cache of yellowing letters. The letters are all addressed to "My dear and unfortunate successor", and they plunge her into a world she never dreamed of - a labyrinth where the secrets of her father's past and her mother's mysterious fate connect to an inconceivable evil hidden in the depths of history.

Historia
Charlie Hall has never found a lock she couldn’t pick, a book she couldn’t steal, or a bad decision she wouldn’t make. She's spent half her life working for gloamists, magicians who manipulate shadows to peer into locked rooms, strangle people in their beds, or worse. Gloamists guard their secrets greedily, creating an underground economy of grimoires. And to rob their fellow magicians, they need Charlie Hall.

Historia
The prequel to Dracula, inspired by notes and texts left behind by the author of the classic novel, Dracul is a supernatural thriller that reveals not only Dracula's true origins but Bram Stoker's - and the tale of the enigmatic woman who connects them. It is 1868, and a 21-year-old Bram Stoker waits in a desolate tower to face an indescribable evil. Armed only with crucifixes, holy water, and a rifle, he prays to survive a single night, the longest of his life. Desperate to record what he has witnessed, Bram scribbles down the events that led him here....

In 1692, Bridget Bishop was hanged as a witch. Two hundred years later, her legacy lives on in the scions of two very different lines: one dedicated to using their powers to heal and help women in need; the other, determined to grasp power for themselves by whatever means necessary. This clash will play out in the fate of Annis, a young woman in Gilded Age New York who finds herself a pawn in the family struggle for supremacy. She'll need to claim her own power to save herself - and resist succumbing to the darkness that threatens to overcome them all.

He speaks quietly, plainly, even gently . . . carrying us back to the night when he departed human existence as heir--young, romantic, cultivated--to a great Louisiana plantation, and was inducted by the radiant and sinister Lestat into the other, the "endless," life....

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Soon, whispers of “witch” dogged her footsteps, and Margaret’s power began to wind itself with the tendrils of something darker.

Resumen del Editor
When rare-manuscript expert Joseph Barkeley is hired to authenticate and purchase the original draft and notes for Bram Stoker’s Dracula, little does he know that the reclusive buyer is a member of the oldest family in Transylvania.
After delivering the manuscript to the legendary Bran Castle in Romania, Barkeley - a Romanian orphan himself - realizes to his horror that he’s become a prisoner to the son of Vlad Dracul. To earn his freedom, Barkeley must decipher cryptic messages hidden in the text of the original Dracula that reveal the burial sites of certain Dracul family members. Barkeley’s only hope is to ensure that he does not exhaust his usefulness to his captor until he’s able to escape. Soon he discovers secrets about his own lineage that suggest his selection for the task was more than coincidence. In this knowledge may lie Barkeley’s salvation - or his doom. For now he must choose between a coward’s flight and a mortal conflict against an ancient foe.
Building on actual international events surrounding the publication of Bram Stoker’s original novel, Royce Prouty has written a spellbinding debut novel that ranges from 1890s Chicago, London, and Transylvania to the perilous present.

This book is like a loaf of bread
This book is like a loaf of bread. A simple, humble, absolutely excellent loaf of bread.
This author apparently decided that The best way to write a good vampire story was to keep it simple, keep it straightforward, and not try any fancy tricks or plot twists. And instead focus on making the words and descriptions as carefully honed and clear as possible.
The language use of this book is beautiful. You can tell that the author has a remarkably straightforward and streamlined mind. There doesn’t seem to be a single word of extraneous or unnecessary text anywhere in this book. Every single word serves a purpose. Every single sentence drives the plot forward.
What I liked most about it is that it comes across as emotionally honest. The author is good at creating settings and rhythms that will pull you into the general mood of a situation or scene without getting you so deeply involved that you walk away feeling emotionally hung over.
This book is not likely to make you laugh out loud, but it will make you chuckle. It’s not going to make you cry. But it will pull at your heart strings.
Finally I would like to complement this book on its technical skill. This is almost a textbook example of how to write a really good novel. There is a clear introduction, Set up, beginning of conflict, climax, resolution, wrapup. The author follows very consistent patterns of set up, emphasize, pay off. He leaves room for the possibility of a sequel without actually implying that there will be one.
In short: you could graph this novel out on a high school creative writing class. It’s not trying to be anything crazy. It’s just being really, really, really good at what it is.
The author consistently follows “show, don’t tell“ pays us, the readers, the complement of assuming that we have both enough intelligence and attention span to catch all the details and paint a vivid mental picture.
The story is solid. Reasonably predictable but all the better for it, in my opinion.

Poindexter meets Dracula
An admirable debut, the writing had a nice flow, not too wordy and the story stayed interesting. Joseph Barkley, a book store owner, is hired to purchase and deliver the original, Braum Stokers, Dracula, along with all the notes and memoirs, to a very, to say the least, strange eccentric in Transylvania. His journey turns out to be as much about the delivery as it is a personal quest to find out more about he and his brothers family history, and how they may be connected.
As he finds out more about his employer he is pushed into a position that requires him to become a sleuth/slayer, not only to protect himself but also the ones he loves. The people that try to help him have a way of ending up dead, so he has to learn how to collect information with out the knowledge of his employer, or his minions, (semi-human slaves). To avoid certain death or lifelong entrapment he must try to unravel Braum Stokers, unpublished epilogue that reveals what his employer is really after.
Many unusual, somewhat endearing, but also suspicious and gruesome characters, help to make this a compelling storyline that was different. Sometimes, like in this case, different is good. The narrator was an acquired taste, his voices were better than his narrative. Jump in but hold onto your souls for the sequel.

Good but depressing
The story was great. I liked the play off the classic. The story also moved well enough. But, I would feel so depressed after each session of listening. Maybe it was the story. Maybe it was the narrator.
It's not like a moving work of historical fiction where you should feel sad. It's like the narrator, or the author, wanted to leave the reader/listener with a sense of dreariness.

Vhat a Bummer
I'm backing into this review, (to save myself from fans of this genre that would stake me just for not giving this book 5*'s): If you are a fan of this genre, get this book...if you liked the approach of The Historian, more dark fantasy than horror, get this book. If, like me, you like your blood-sucking fiends rising from their coffins mean and sinister, red-eyed, claw-handed, long in the tooth, stinking of grave rot and eau de carrion, with a strong speech impediment concerning their W's...get this book. It 's good, entertaining, and will keep the listener ensconced in the vampire lore. But, caveat emptor....buyer beware!
Prouty started out with the underpinnings of a scintillating story: elements he extrapolated from Stoker's Dracula, mixed with some quasi-history and some interesting philosophical points; a rare manuscript said to be Stoker's original, containing chapters never published; a young purveyor of antique books and rare manuscript expert, born in Romania with a twin brother (who is now a priest); a mysterious foreign buyer, willing to offer anything for the manuscript; and Transylvania--the Carpathian mountains, the superstitious villagers, graveyards, garlic, and Castle Dracula...the stuff that screams gothic horror and grabs any fan by the throat. This story has it all, and Prouty shines when it comes to setting the stage. The only way this book could have more atmosphere is if you opened the cover and a damp gray fog roiled out from the pages and wolves howled in your room. So vhat vent vrong? The execution went wrong.
After his own manuscript was rejected by publishers, Prouty was advised by said publisher to write a vampire thriller (which at the time would have been the subject du-jour). He said he read vamp books including The Historian and the classic Dracula, and was underwhelmed by Stoker's demise of the nefarious Count. With that disappointment in mind, Prouty came up with the framework for Stoker's Manuscript. For an greenie-author to set out on his maiden voyage to improve on such a classic is a bit hubristic--but he did have a point--as Stoker's original destruction of Dracula was much more epic.
But this novel ended up being like a good coloring book page before it is colored in--and speaking just from the point of what might have been--the book seems rushed and therefore lacks development, depth, and finesse; everything is like an opaque version of fantastic. The back-stories are not worked in sufficiently, the emotions are completely missing, the mysteries not cryptic or engaging enough to keep you tuned in, (and the *love story* is dead on arrival). Reading this, I got a better understanding of why Kostova took 700 pages (or 26 audible hours) to unravel the mysteries of The Historian. There is so much good stuff here that needs to be polished for the story to flow, build suspense, help us connect with and like the characters, get those goose bumps going. Too bad, because this had the promise of a great classic horror story. Prouty says he is already writing the sequel; I'm on board...but can't help thinking what some authors could have done with this one. (In the hands of King...now that is fantastically scary.) Finally, the narrator--he is sufficient and especially good for the young Joseph, just not the voice I would choose to portray a horrific creature descended from the darkest of lineage...

Reads like a good abridged novel
First let me say that I enjoyed this debut novel. The story is well told and horrific enough for those of us who are fans of this genre (antique book dealer gets hired to authenticate Bram Stoker's manuscript and, well, guess who his real client is!). That said, it moves along way too fast -- going from one scene to the next before you can barely digest what just happened. Characters are introduced and disposed off with an ease that makes you feel that you are listening to the abridged version of the full novel -- even if it is a good abridgment. In the end, there are even some almost-loose-ends that you wish the author had dealt with better.
Still, I love my Bad Vampire yarns and this is one of them. I look forward to seeing the author improve with practice.

Almost but not quite
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I enjoyed the book because I am a "sucker" for vampire stories set in Eastern Europe. Add that I love books...and stories about books. So if you give me a rare book dealer who happens to be a Rumanian orphan and is delivering a unique edition of Bram Stoker's classic to a certain count...I am all set to have a great time. Unfortunately, this read was not quite fulfilling. A review by another reader states that listening to this book leaves you with the feeling that you have listened to an abridgment ...that is exactly how I felt after listening to "Stoker's Manuscript".
What did you like best about this story?
The story is well written. The writer manages to put a different spin on a plot that we have seen in endless variations. The author sets the atmosphere quite deftly. The problem, in my opinion, is that the characters remain superficial. The author goes down several promising paths that lead nowhere. And this frustrates the reader.
What three words best describe Stephen R. Thorne’s performance?
The narration was fair. It did not get on the way and it probably added dimension to the main character.
Do you think Stoker’s Manuscript needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Maybe the author could redeem himself with a follow up...where we get to know the central characters better and we explore their childhood and get to know their parents better, This background history is important to the plot of this novel and we don't get to learn much about it There could actually be a prequel!
Any additional comments?
This author has potential in the horror/suspense genre. I would read something else by him.
