Author Event: In the Footsteps of Dracula: A Personal Journey and Travel Guide by Steven Unger

Sun, 08/01/2010 - 2:00pm

Author Steven Unger will be presenting his book, "In the Footsteps of Dracula--A Personal Journey and Travel Guide." Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula" was based on the life and killer-deeds of Prince Vlad the Impaler. In this unique travel guide Unger goes back to the real places where Prince Vlad the Impaler lived and writes detailed descriptions of the places themselves. He also goes into the real-life horror-crimes of Prince Vlad. Finally, he offers a tourist guide for anyone who wants to follow his tracks and experience first-hand what Vlad himself experienced.

 

"Reading In the Footsteps of Dracula, I felt as if the ghosts of Bram Stoker (the author of Dracula) and Prince Vlad the Impaler were right beside me as I walked down cobblestone streets through the eerie villages of history. When you sink your teeth into this book, you'll find fantastic photographs and a world filled with amazing stories that'll leave you wanting more. Unger has done an absolutely remarkable job of putting facts, images, and stories together; I enjoyed it immensely. Not only do I want to visit every site I've read about, I'm also going to the library to pick up Dracula once again."
