Reviews
For over a century, the world of literature has sired countless characters who became cornerstones for modern popular culture. None so iconic and memorable as Dracula and Harry Potter. Calvin Cherry, author of Stoker: Evolution of a Vampire, delves into the two treasured storylines and reveals the seemingly endless parade of comparisons in character archetypes, locations, symbolism, and plot. Suspension of disbelief itself is suspended as the telling of these stories are dissected to the point of reality. With remarkable detail provides real life landmarks to solidify the bond between reader, fan, and tourist. --Shon Medley, Literary Editor and 'Con Nooga' FanCon convention coordinator, Chattanooga, TN

Cherry’s arguments are convincing. I very much enjoyed this and would recommend it to any fans of the books."" —The Book Review Crew
