The Book of Renfield
2005 novel by Tim Lucas / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Book of Renfield: A Gospel of Dracula is a 2005 novel written by Tim Lucas.[1] It is the first of the mashup horror-themed novels that rose to commercial prominence later in the decade. It is an unofficial prequel to Bram Stoker's Dracula. Like the original novel, Renfield is an epistolary novel written in series of written documents. It focuses mainly on Renfield, mostly remembered for his minor role in Dracula as a lunatic that ate flies, rodents and other animals, and Dr. John Seward, the administrator of an insane asylum who is trying to understand Renfield's psychosis.[citation needed]
