From Publishers Weekly:
Science fiction harbors an unfortunate subgenre wherein time travel is used to explain away the creative genius of past artists. A sample of his work might be brought to a master before "he" has created it; he might be exposed to another era and thus to events that then inspire his (now unimaginative) work. Aldiss ( Greybeard ), winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards, here sails very close to that wind. Dracula sends assassins to kill Bram Stoker before he can write his novel about vampires. Joe Bodenland hijacks a time train from the vampires and rides it to London in 1896, where he teams up with Stoker. Together they set off to save humanity from the undead, with assistance from Stoker's gardener and Bodenland's family. The writing is drab, imparting none of the excitement expected from such fertile subjects. The introduction of time travel does nothing to enhance the original vampire story. Except for Stoker, the characters lack motivation and substance enough to make them attractive to the reader. Even Lord Dracula lacks bite.

Book Description Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condition: Good: Moderate signs of wear. Cover Art: Chris Foss (illustrator). 1992 Edition. © 1978: 2nd in the 'Joe Bodenland' series of books. 1st printing of 1992 edition:- Synopsis: When life, death, past and future are at stake. When Bram Stoker wrote one of the most famous novels in the world - Dracula - most people didn't realise that he had a little outside 'inspiration'. This came in the form of one Joe Bodenland from the 1990's who travelled back in time to secure Stoker's help on a desperate mission to save humanity from the undead. For Dracula is no mere character conjured up by a gifted scribe - he is undead and kicking, shrouded in wickedness bred by centuries of evolution. Stoker joins Bodenland in a crusade to exterminate all vampires once and for all. But the trail which begins in Utah in the 21st century ends far away in space and time, in a climax of devastating destruction:- Review(s): "A great page-whipping adventure merging supernatural horror with breathtaking science fantasy, 'Dracula Unbound' displays Brian Aldiss at his romantic and imaginative best" / "This book is a hefty addition to the Aldiss oeuvre. It's also a splendidly cerebral continuation of the myth of the demon lover" - The Guardian / "Outrageous thriller to be raced through at a sitting" - Daily Mail / "Philosophical paradoxes, chaos theory, fractal mathematics and some pretty nifty plotting. An excellent SF / Horror adventure story which pulls the reader into its fast and turbulent flow of tension and ideas. Thank you, Brian Aldiss" - Fear / "There will be few better reads this year" - The Times:- (original cost £4.99). Seller Inventory # 11.001.00425
