Official Dracula Sequel

Well,  it seems like there is to be an ‘official’ sequel to Bram Stoker’s mighty novel, ‘Dracula.’

Dacre Stoker, the great-grandnephew of Bram Stoker, has written “Dracula: The Un-Dead.”

Seems like Dacre put together the story from notes and jottings from Bram’s original notes.  However, the sequel has been co-authored by screenwriter Ian Holt.

The book has the blessing of the Stoker Estate and should be out in October 2009.  It seems VERY likely that a screen adaptation will soon follow.

Personally, I’m hesitant about a sequel, but no doubt I’ll buy it (and watch the film!).

What do you think?  Is a sequel long overdue?
