26) Dracula in London edited by PN Elrod - Perhaps it's because I've never read the source material (how I haven't managed yet is a wonder to even me) but this anthology lacked a certain punch. A number of the pieces were very well written and interesting but I'm not inspired to keep it. The ones that played with the theatrical links of Bram Stoker were the most amusing and, by and large, the best. The last piece, focusing on Renfield, was just sensationalist, experimental meh. The one or two that featured Dracula as being kind to orphans and such... Expected. Well-written but inadvertently giggle-inducing.
