well, there's only one bram stoker dracula, so it wouldn't be called "the dracula books"--in fact, that's what i call saberhagen's series, which isn't dry at all, but was begun early in the 70s new wave of sf. exciting and such. bram stoker is not nearly as dry as a lot of his contemporaries, ie, ann radcliffe, wilkie collins, mary shelley.
