Reviews / Votes
Praise for the first edition of All-Action Classics: Dracula"Action-packed and full of the thrills and chills expected of Gothic literature, this adaptation is a fine way to introduce reluctant teen readers to a worthy classic. With fluidity and stylized flair, Caldwell's beautiful art, reminiscent of Don Bluth's, aptly captures the mood of the tale, shifting effortlessly between muted somber tones and vivid splashes of color." --Booklist
