She is pale, tired, and has two marks on her neck.
"The movie wasn't even scary," Alfie Booth complains. "My movie will be a lot better than that." Alfie plans to make a Super-8 Dracula movie starring his brother Leonard. What he doesn't plan on is getting mixed up in a jewel robbery - with an amateur detective and a thieving dog named, most aptly, Trouble!

From Dickens to Dracula: Gothic, Economics, and Victorian Fiction
Ranging from the panoramic novels of Dickens to the horror of Dracula, Gail Turley Houston examines the ways in which the language and imagery of economics, commerce and banking are transformed in Victorian Gothic fiction, and traces literary and uncanny elements in economic writings of the period. Houston shows how banking crises were often linked with ghosts or inexplicable non-human forces and financial panic was figured through Gothic or supernatural means.

The Historian is the 2005 debut novel of American author Elizabeth Kostova. The plot blends the history and folklore of Vlad Tepes and his fictional equivalent Count Dracula. Kostova's father told her stories about Dracula when she was a child, and later in life she was inspired to turn the experience into a novel.
