Chris McAuley is a writer of prose novels, magazine short stories, video and tabletop games and audio dramas. Together with Bram Stoker\u2019s Great-Grand nephew Dacre Stoker, he has created the StokerVerse franchise. Jeff Oliver is a writer of intense emotions, having started composing his dark poetry at just 11 years old. Together, they have written a sequel to Bram Stoker\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dracula<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood and Verse<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The collection begins with the following Disclaimer: &#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this collection we have explored all aspects of <em>Dracula<\/em> which have been in print or cinema over the course of the last 126 years.\u201d This is emphasized by both Dr. Michael H. Likey in his Introduction, as well as in the Foreword by Jonathan Maberry. These two experts present the history of the Dracula story, its influences, and how McAuley and Oliver explore the story. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This book is divided into two sections, McAuley\u2019s \u201cBlood and Prose\u201d and Oliver\u2019s \u201cBlood and Poetry.\u201d While both sections inform each other, they are independent of each other, and make for an interesting conversation which the reader has the pleasure of observing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">McAuley\u2019s section is much shorter, less than a third of the total book. The narrative sections read very much like a hidden history. There are accounts of Dracula attending a Devil\u2019s School, as in the story \u201cDracula\u2019s Devil,&#8221; or associating Dracula with Jack the Ripper, as in \u201cThe Blade in the Darkness.\u201d McAuley is dedicated in his research and explains his findings in copious notes throughout the book for the reader. This provides a context for his stories, which can be helpful, but certainly aren\u2019t necessary. McAuley also takes a few stabs at poetry, as in \u201cThe First Hunter,\u201d but these poems ready very much like prose dissected into verse. The lines are full stop and the narrative rich:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nimrod was a mighty warrior.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Babylonian prince who was beyond comparison.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His Empire stretched across the known world and his word was<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">universal law.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a decade of war, those in his nation began to know peace.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until the undead horde swarmed the land.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the Eastern lands of Nod, they spread fear and their dark disease.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is typical of McAuley\u2019s poetry, and fortunately, his prose is much stronger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oliver\u2019s section, \u201cBlood and Poetry,\u201d is a departure from McAuley\u2019s prose, but the poetry style and craft techniques are similar. Oliver approaches poetry from a narrative perspective, and is clearly writing poems that fit into the narrative mission and objective of this book. While there are occasional descriptions and images, for the most part, the poetry reads as prose separated into lines:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What else did this beast do?<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think Helsing, think!<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m talking to myself again.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He\u2019s in the other room drinking a woman\u2019s blood\u2026<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can I do?<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where can I run?<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This thing is so powerful!<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s stronger than a million musket balls blowing out your guts.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I feel attacked!<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This thing that crawls down walls like a rabid alley cat.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I saw that happen with my own two eyes.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know that the others will not believe me if I get out of here alive\u2026<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is an attempt, perhaps, at a persona poem, but the narrative certainly takes over, which fits with the goal and mission of the book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the outset, Chris McAuley and Jeff Oliver make their goal for this book crystal clear:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has been twenty years since the infamous Count Dracula was defeated by a small band of brave individuals led by the legendary Abraham Van Helsing. Now, as the world has moved on and forgotten the horrors that were faced, Van Helsing feels compelled to tell the true story of what happened during that hellish encounter. A follow-up to Bram Stoker\u2019s classic novel, Jeff Oliver and Dr. Chris McAuley craft a book filled with prose and poem to describe the events contained within Dracula. It serves as both a sequel and prequel, with Van Helsing beginning to question the true nature of evil and the possibility of its return.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the purpose of this book, and McAuley and Oliver have clearly accomplished that. The narratives are there, and the stories, before and after, as well as the secrets and lives of characters overlooked or underdeveloped in the original.\u00a0 Fans of vampire narratives, especially Dracula-based narratives, will enjoy this book. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blood and Verse by Chris McAuley and Jeff Oliver, illustrated By Dan Verkys Cosby Media Productions (October 2023) 183 pages; $19.99; $5.99 e-book Reviewed by Joshua Gage Chris McAuley and Jeff Oliver are no strangers to horror writing, nor to the character of Dracula.
