New Vampire Novel News –
Following the publication of ‘Within The Glass Darkly’, the second novel of this new Gothic vampire saga will be published in 2011. The second novel incorporates the original plot / subplot upon which the Dracula musical ‘book’ was partially based. Although the second novel continues the plot of the first, it is possible to read the new book as a story in its own right.
The new novel reveals more about the characters of Stoker’s classic story, the origins of the Nosferatu and Count Dracula himself, whilst developing the original plot of ‘Within The Glass Darkly’.

Dracula Musical News –
At present, new / additional music and orchestrations are being produced for the recording of the complete musical. This will feature lots of material we could not include on the concept album. A few of the concept numbers have either been changed or replaced with new songs.

Introduction to the story…

Nineteenth century Paris. A spate of grizzly murders has everyone gripped with fear as the killer continues to terrorise the city. There are rumours that a murderous ‘beast’ is stalking the streets of Paris at night…

A mysterious nobleman and his sister enter the lives of the Perrodon family and their friends. The unwary Parisians are about to encounter the terrifying reality of a darker world that will tear their young lives apart.

One man already knows the identity and true nature of the ‘beast’. He is also aware of an ancient vendetta against members of the Perrodon family. Only his knowledge and experience stands between them and their mutual nemesis.

Within The Glass Darkly

More work will hopefully be done on the complete CD of the show this month. We hope to bring you the new recording by the end of the year.

The new vampire novel, ‘Within The Glass Darkly’ will be published in February. Deliberately written in the Gothic style of the 19th century, the story features the original “vampire hunter” of the Victorian era, General Spielsdorf and also Le Fanu’s vampire creation, Carmilla.
Dracula briefly features as a minor character, in deference to both Le Fanu and Stoker in this original tale.

The new novel, “Within The Glass Darkly”, will be published next month.

Featuring Le Fanu’s original Victorian ‘Vampire hunter’, General Spielsdorf, who was featured in Le Fanu’s 1872 novella, ’Carmilla’. (25 years before Stoker’s novel, ‘Dracula’ was published).

‘Within The Glass Darkly’ – The original plot of this new Gothic novel is centred around the disturbing events that affect the lives of the Perrodon family. Only one man stands between them and their ancient nemesis…

Both ‘Carmilla’ and ‘General Spielsdorf’ feature in this story.
