Reviews
“It’s marvelous to have one so eloquent exploring and transcending the gothic genre.”
ANNE RICE
“A novelist of immense talent and promise.”
CALEB CARR
“Expertly researched, lavishly detailed and lushly written…an atmosphere so vivid you can smell it, and remarkably striking characters.”
DIANA GABALDON
“James Reese’s startling second novel is filled with magic and heartbreak, eerie, unforgettable characters and the heady atmosphere of a bygone era brought deftly to life. It is a sumptuous feast for the senses.”
ERIC VON LUSTBADER
MATTHEW PEARL
“With James Reese’s vivid and chilling novel, readers will gain a whole new appreciation of two gothic landmarks, Dracula and Jack the Ripper. Not only does The Dracula Dossier grip us with its fast paced hunt for history’s most notorious killer, it also enchants us with sophisticated and lyrical recreations of its unique period and strong characters. A daring achievement.”
“The Dracula Dossier is as powerful in its imagination as it is in its dedication to historical detail and social reflection. But what’s more is that it’s a damn good thriller. James Reese creates a world here that had me mesmerized from chapter one. With Bram Stoker and Jack the Ripper along for the ride, you can’t go wrong with this book.”
