Leslie S. Klinger

Unravel the mystery of Dracula with author & Malibu resident (also world-renowned Sherlockian), Les Klinger, as he presents and signs The New Annotated Dracula.

Stoker's classic work has gripped readers since its first publication in 1897. While the book has been studied by scholars in virtually every academic discipline, none have accepted Bram Stoker’s declaration that the work was based on historical fact. For the first time, Klinger examines all of the evidence, both internal and external, including contemporary travel books, scientific texts, Victorian encyclopedias, as well as Stoker’s notes for the narrative and the original manuscript itself (the document is owned by a private, anonymous collector, and Klinger is one of only two researchers to have seen it in recent years).
