A placeholder for a longer post to come
Thanks to a kind friend, I received an advance copy of the new novel Dracula - The Undead. It is being promoted as the "official" sequel to the original novel, and was co-written by a Dracula scholar and a descendant of Bram Stoker.
I finished it last night. I am planning on writing a rather lengthy, spoiler-filled post about it later on today, once my eyes stop rolling so hard that it makes typing difficult.
For the moment, I am going to ignore my huge stack of new books waiting to be read, and instead take comfort in the pages of Anno Dracula by Kim Newman.

One of my fav books to read that tackles the Dracula storyline (or is that extends??)

It's one thing to do pastiche or parody, but do we really need sequels to Gone With the Wind, Pride & Prejudice and now apparently Dracula?
And I thought Christopher Tolkien's unending effort to squeeze every drop of publishable (and some unpublishable) scribble out of his father's notebooks was bad enough.

There is NOTHING wrong with that. I have an ebook version on my iPhone, so I too have a copy with me at all times.
