The Seattle Times is currently running an interview with author Leslie Klinger. After the Los Angeles attorney published the three-volume The Annotated Sherlock Holmes, the collected works featuring the great detective, he wanted a portal back into the Victorian era. One night (hopefully a dark and stormy night), his wife said: Why not Dracula? "It was obvious," Klinger said — "he's the other great Victorian icon." The Annotated Dracula by Bram Stoker, edited and with a foreword and notes by Klinger (Norton, 613 pp., $39.95), is the result. You can read the full interview here: Leslie Klinger
