   Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.   ) .Monkey. | Dec 30, 2012 |   ) bnbookgirl | Feb 8, 2010 | Written in the same style as Dracula, the book tells the story of the patient Renfield, including his history before he came to Seward's asylum. It is a very interesting story about a very interesting character. Not recommended unless you've already read (and liked) Dracula, though. The books gives excerpts from Dracula to get you up to speed, but I think a lot of the affect would be lost if you didn't know the story behind it. One of the better books I've read recently. Very enjoyable. ( ) ajcrowley05 | Oct 8, 2008 | The author, Tim Lucas, sets his story to tell the story of Renfield, you know, the guy who ate flies and small animals who eventually made it into Carfax Asylum and was Dracula's henchman in England. Most of the story is Renfield's narrative of his own life from the time he was abandoned as an infant then found by a local vicar Mr. Renfield, augmented by the journal of Dr. Seward, who runs the Carfax asylum and the words of Bram Stoker himself from his novel Dracula. Count Dracula himself rarely makes an appearance here, and while the story is engrossing at times, it just didn't have the oomph I was expecting. If you're a reader of vampire stories, you'll want to read it. ( ) bcquinnsmom | May 10, 2006 |  verkisto | Jun 29, 2006 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
When we first meet Renfield in Dracula, he is a tortured soul in decline, a fly-gobbling, Scripture-quoting lunatic who acts as a haunted harbinger of Dracula's arrival in England. At the novel's climax, readers discover that Renfield, under restraint in the asylum of Dr. John Seward, has been in psychic communication with Dracula all along, acting as his eyes and ears in expectation of unspeakable rewards. Now, in an ingenious work of fiction, author Tim Lucas at last brings Renfield's own story to light. The Book of Renfield is a collection of the long-lost private diaries, professional journals, and wax-cylinder recordings that comprise Dr. Seward's obsessive study of Renfield. Featuring appearances by many of the characters from the original Dracula, Lucas's novel takes on the frighteningly realistic tone of a textual documentary as it illuminates the warped consciousness of Renfield and reveals, through a series of stories from his childhood, how this poor unfortunate was predisposed to become the ideal portal for evil.
