I picked The New Annotated Dracula because it’s October, so horror seemed appropriate; and you might as well start with the classics. In this particular case, I haven’t read it yet. But both the promise of a fully-annotated text and a conceit that warms the cockles of my yearning-for-autumn heart conspired to make this one Book of the Week: I look forward to its arrival on the doorstep.
And so farewell to 1635: The Eastern Front. Grimmer than I expected.

Wait. You haven’t read *this annotated version of “Dracula”* yet? Or you haven’t read *DRACULA* yet? Because if it’s the latter, then Moe, I’m sorry, but that is inexcusable.
Oh, I’ve read the original a bunch of times. But I like me some good annotation, provided it’s by somebody who knows what the hell he or she is talking about.
