Resumen del Editor
World-famous “consulting detective” Sherlock Holmes faces a terrible crisis: a ring of criminal masterminds has threatened to loose thousands of plague-infected rats into the streets of London. But the Black Death isn’t Holmes’ only problem. A lone killer haunts the city. His calling card is a trail of corpses, drained of blood to the last drop.The key to solving both crimes rests in the hands of a mysterious nobleman recently returned to London on a personal matter. His name is Dracula.
The Count is quickly entangled in a web of evil that even his immortal powers may not be enough to breach. Holmes and Dracula soon come to the peculiar realization that they may be each other’s only hope.

Sherlock Holmes is an unparalleled genius who uses the gift of deduction and reason to solve the most vexing of crimes. Warlock Holmes, however, is an idiot. A good man, perhaps; a font of arcane power, certainly. But he’s brilliantly dim. Frankly, he couldn’t deduce his way out of a paper bag. The only things he has really got going for him are the might of a thousand demons and his stalwart flatmate. Thankfully, Dr. Watson is always there to aid him through the treacherous shoals of Victorian propriety...

The fiction world of today needs a “Saint” more than it ever did. For years now that scene has been dominated by the “anti-heroes"—those grim gray operators in a sunless sub-culture where global issues are worked out with totally unemotional pragmatism, those hapless uninspired puppets manipulated and expended by ruthlessly dedicated little brothers of Big Brother. It made morbidly fascinating narrative, but it never gave anyone a lift until it climaxed in the hyper-gadgeted parodies of 007 extravaganzas.

Raffles is Sherlock Holmes' polar opposite, a foil for great detectives and a man with all the immoral charms of a hero-thief, plus a remarkable ability at cricket. Raffles is the godson of Robin Hood, the model for Cary Grant in "To Catch a Thief," and the inspiration of Leslie Charteris' "The Saint." As the great reinvention of the trickster for the 20th century, Raffles convinces readers to throw away their scruples and follow along for wit, bold adventures, and thrilling suspense.

In the sleepy Bavarian town of Gesternstadt, gossip was viewed by many as a local sport, a popular hobby, a harmless pastime that showed only the depth and enduring nature of the interest of one neighbour for another. In Gretel’s opinion, however, tittle-tattle sowed the seeds of malice among the fertile soil of jealousy, often watered by the tears of its victims. So it was that upon hearing from brother Hans of the whispers concerning a young woman, a married man and a thwarted lover, Gretel is compelled to rise from her beloved day bed to set things to rights.

When the body of a suicide victim disappears at West Point Military Academy in 1831, only to be discovered hours later missing its heart, the Academy calls on retired detective Gus Landor to investigate. Landor is something of a legend among his peers, noted for an uncanny, Holmesian ability to read people. When Edgar Allan Poe, a new cadet, comes forth with his own cryptic conclusion—that the man Landor is looking for is a poet—Landor is intrigued and enlists Poe as his assistant.

The ultimate Villain vs the best Detective ever!
Would you listen to The Holmes-Dracula File again? Why?
Yes, and I have - I paint, and listen to great books while I work - and this is one of them.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Hard to say - Dracula turns out to be just as interesting and enjoyable as Sherlock Holmes!
Have you listened to any of Robin Bloodworth’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Not yet -but he's amazing. His Dracula is hypnotic , his Holmes is cleaver & witty...excellent!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The Ultimate Villain vs the Best Detective of all time! The winner saves, or enslaves, the world!
Any additional comments?
I have searched for a book like this. Found a few Holmes vs Dracula books, However, NONE are as good as this one! This is so far superior than any of the others... I'm so glad I found it.
I now want to read the rest of the Dracula tales. If only now Fred Saberhagen would write Dracula vs Batman, what a tale that would be!

Robin Bloodworth's narration is top notch!
I love this series, and am delighted to see we get to hear Robin's voice through all of them. I so wish it wasn't too late to send a fan letter to Fred Saberhagen. I loved these books when they were first out, and reading them all these years later is like meeting up with a dear old friend.

Doesn't rise beyond (an often OK) fan fiction
Contrary to Saberhagen original novel in his Dracula series, in which he wonderfully found Dracula's voice, masterfully putting Bram Stoker’s classic on its head, this Dracula - Holmes pastiche fails to do so. Saberhagen manages to maintain a decent cosplay of the the original authors' style, and that is impressive, but the material never quite rises to the excitement level of Conan Doyle or Stoker. Perhaps the weakness here is the sequel nature of the book, where "The Dracula Tape"'s strength is in the re-imagining of the source material. Even though there is a number of fun "Holmesian" twists, particularly near the end, the road to them is quite tedious. There's a reason most Sherlock Holmes tales are presented in the form of a short story. Robin Bloodworth's commanding voice and expert delivery help the book a lot, but don't save it.

I love this book series
What did you love best about The Holmes-Dracula File?
My favorite aspect of this is when you get a chapter from Dracula's point of view and then Watson's point of view. The way they see the same exact situation so drastically different is amusing and surprisingly realistic.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Dracula, naturally. As vicious and predatory as he might be and though he lies often he becomes a likable narrator. Notice the man he supposedly just wanted to disarm. He threw the rock, supposedly it hit the man's wrist, broke the wrist, bounced off and then hit the middle of the man's forehead, creating an in-ward dent and killing him. Rocks don't bounce like that, Dracula! He's clearly lying and it's written cleverly for the reader to catch Dracula's lies, particularly when you realize how differently Watson sees things from Dracula. But Dracula, again, is oddly likable.
What does Robin Bloodworth bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I like the way Robin Bloodworth provides the voices and the occasional acting delivery that turns the audio book into more of a radio drama than just a reading of a book.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
My favorite moment, though not exactly what I'd call moving, is the first confrontation with Sherlock Holmes when Sherlock uses Dracula's resting place to lure him to them.
Any additional comments?
I love this book series. I noticed the series as it is listed on Audibles is missing the final book. Book ten which is A Coldness in The Blood. I hope they eventually remember it. I also noticed Audibles accidentally has two listings for this book series. The New Dracula and New Dracula and for some reason only book 4 onward is in "New Dracula" while all of them are listed in "The New Dracula." Well, all but A coldness in The Blood. I'm concerned about A Coldness in The Blood not being listed. I hope that one gets an audio book release too, also read by Robin Bloodworth.
Anyone else notice how ironic it is that a book series told by Dracula is being read by a man named Bloodworth?

A nice twist on a classic
Interesting story told from three sides. Mr. Bloodworth has a great voice for the characters. A worthy addition to the Sherlock Holmes library.

Saberhagen & Bloodworth finding their audio voice
The first person narrative, Dracula, is once again languid (less so than “Dracula Tape”) and “precise”, maybe suitably; perfect for many listeners. Saberhagen treads the fine line avoiding sentimentalizing Dracula but doesn’t make him unlikable.
Robin Bloodworth achieves some contrast as Dracula as Watson and Watson as Holmes speaking.
The first meeting of Holmes and Dracula is particularly well visualized.
I’ve always been a fan of Fred Saberhagen’s writing and he fits well into the audio book genre.
Eight hours was long enough for me; but I will proceed to the next book in the series.

The reader is phenomenal.
I first heard of Fred saberhagen about 20 years ago, I read the physical version of the Dracula tapes, and was completely intrigued but could never find any of the other books. audible has done me a favor.
