DRACULA’S BOOKSHELF

DRACULA IN LOVE By Karen Essex

Part of the fun of reading vampire novels is wondering which traits from vampiric lore the author will give his or her vampires, such as, “can they walk in sunlight?”

FILM

The Metropol Viewing Room

The Lair of the White Worm (England, 1988) is a vampire tale in only the most vague sense, directed by the always weird Ken Russell from his adaptation of the Bram Stoker novel by the same name. The film is about an often naked half-human, half-snake immortal named Lady Sylvia.

30 Days of Night is an adaptation of a successful, and really good, comic book by Steve Niles with art by Ben Templesmith about the small Alaskan town of Barrow as it encounters its yearly month-long “night.”
