The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova was simply a great read. Part mystery, part suspense, part horror, and even part love story. It's just an all out entertaining read. At times I was so spooked that the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. This isn't Stephen King spooky, this is more subtle. More believable. More possible. It's well written, and a very fast read. Don't let the size of the book worry you. This really was one fun adventure!
Basically it is about a search for Dracula. Could it be possible that the historical figure Vlad the Impaler was in truth a vampire? That is the premise of the story and what a wild ride from there. Lush country side all over Europe make this book an extra special treat. Cultural and political differences between borders is fascinating and educational. Learn a little, get spooked a little, enjoy a lot!
