Dracula comes to Mexico City. Slight, but quite well done. B-

Short book. Seems like the real action is short-changed. Not very satisfying. I love the original Dracula. This is not even a pale shadow.

¿Que chingados acabo de leer?

Mi parte favorita fue la creación de Vlad y su pasado grotesco. Pero su motivo para mudarse a la Cuidad de Mexico me parecio ridículo. Y el final fue frustrante. ¿Es esto una alegoría sobre los ricos? Or is it about helplessness? I’m definitely missing the hype here. It was definitely interesting, but Bram Stoker’s Dracula can not be beat. However, the imagery was fantastic and I think this would make a great movie.
