About the Author:
Royce Prouty is a CPA and business consultant. He and his wife live in Southern California. Stoker's Manuscript is his first novel.
Review:
“Dan Brown meets Anne Rice...a compelling novel that is both a literary mystery and a macabre thriller.”
—New York Journal of Books"Prouty’s debut, a riveting novel of supernatural suspense, deftly mixes fact and fiction involving the manuscript of Bram Stoker’s great vampire novel, Dracula."
—Publishers Weekly, Signature Review by Dacre Stoker
“Prouty’s tale captivates with chilling and just enough blood-soaked scenes to intrigue but not overwhelm the reader. It is packed with historical references and asides, which add richness and depth even for readers who are not history buffs.”
—Library Journal
"It’s almost impossible not to keep reading. Prouty’s careful, sometimes daring mingling of history and legend with fiction makes for a tantalizing novel in which he interweaves, to great effect, some of the mysteries surrounding the genesis of Dracula’s writing. Stoker’s Manuscript is a modernized, self-aware, meta-retelling of Dracula.... Newcomers to Stoker’s masterpiece will want to go back and read the original tale, and the already diehard fan will want to re-read it.”
—John Edgar Browning, editor of The Forgotten Writings of Bram Stoker
“In all, a fun read, well-plotted....An obvious choice for fans of Dracula and Frankenstein.”
—Kirkus
“Stoker's Manuscript is a thriller with bite.” — Fort Worth Star-Telegram
