Illustrated by
Anne Yvonne Gilbert.
This adaptation of the Bram Stoker classic seems targeted at Twilight fans, stressing the story's romantic and action-thriller aspects. A clear, concise text paired with effectively shadowy and crosshatched illustrations will bring new readers to the tale, drawn in by the story's suspense and immediacy. Illustrated diary entries and letters are also used to good effect.
