For today’s spooky pick, let’s take a different look at Dracula with the debut novel by Elizabeth Kostova.  The book came out in 2005 and became a huge bestseller.  And if you’ve already read and loved it – get ready for Kostova’s next book THE SWAN THIEVES coming out next month.  In the mean time without further ado… today’s pick:

THE HISTORIAN by Elizabeth Kostova

From the publisher:

When a teenage girl discovers a medieval book in her diplomat father’s library, he reluctantly confesses an unsettling story: his involvement, 20 years earlier, in a search for his mentor, who disappeared from his office only moments after confiding his certainty that Dracula–Vlad the Impaler–was still alive.
