Although Dracula in Love was not published until after Transmaniacon - both in 1979 - it is the first novel John Shirley wrote. He started writing it about age 17 while living in Portland. Somewhat given to youthful excess, Dracula in Love is still a remarkable book and displays the unique and energetic imagination that marks all of Shirley's work.

In the pages of her journal, Mina Murray confesses the erotic devilment and nocturnal horrors of her time with Count Dracula. And what she writes says as much about her desires as it does about the Count’s - something no one, not even her fiancé Jonathan Harker, could ever understand. Readers everywhere will succumb to Essex’s sumptuous prose and thrill to celebrated reader Bianca Amato’s tantalizing delivery, the intoxicating effects of which will occupy listeners’ minds through the darkest of nights.
