What a ride!!
This is definitely a side of the Dracula story that hadnt been written before. Any Vampire afficiando has to read this.

Thank you to NetGalley and Riverdale Avenue Books for providing me with a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

Blurb:
Following the events of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Dr. John Seward complies diary entries and transcripts from his patient, Renfield, to document his descent into madness at the hands of Count Dracula.

Review:
The author of this book put a lot of time and care into imitating the writing style used in Dracula. It provides a unique backstory to the otherwise forgotten character of Renfield. This story was quite character-driven and was essentially just developing Renfield’s character until he ultimately meets Dracula. It was quite slow at times and took its time with tension. If not for the story of Dracula, this book would just be the biography of a sad man with mommy issues who also eats bugs. The part that I appreciated most was the perspective on Lucy Westenra, the beloved maiden that ultimately becomes a member of the undead by Dracula.

If you want a unique perspective on a classic tale, then The Book of Renfield: A Gospel of Dracula is out now!

The ravings of the mad are the secrets of God. —Bram Stoker

A fantastic book, at times a paraquel to “Dracula”, but overall exploring R.M. Renfield’s story as well as Dr. Jack Seward’s involvement.

It’s filled with creeping dread, and the prose is accurate for the Victorian timeframe.

Anyone who has read and enjoyed Bram Stoker/Dracula will enjoy this story!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and Riverdale Avenue Books for a copy.

Some of you may know I’m a huge vampire fanatic so This is a book I would recommend to anybody who enjoyed Dracula. You can get a glimpse of Renfield’s life. R. M. Renfield is insane and Dr Jack Seward wants to explore his secrets. In relaying his childhood and experiences, Seward comes to realise a dark shadow is stretched over Renfield's life.

4 stars
I loved this! It fit right into the Dracula universe. The writing was so well done and the book definitely got me even more excited for the movie.

If you enjoy Bram Stoker’s Dracula, I think you’d really love this book as well.

Thank you to Netgally and the Publisher for the ARC of this book.
This was the perfect read before going to see the movie Renfield. If you enjoyed Dracula, try this. I would suggest rereading Dracula before picking this up. It is odd, but the setting has all the gothic feels. 4 stars.
