Dracula, Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, is now set to get an official sequel. Dacre Stoker, great-grandnephew of Bram Stoker, and award-winning Dracula documentarian and historian Ian Holt have sold North American-English publishing rights of the Stoker-family-authorized sequel to Bram’s classic novel ‘Dracula’ to an alliance of Dutton U.S. (Brian Tart), Harper UK (Jane Johnson), and Penguin-Canada (Laura Shin). The upcoming book will be titled ‘The Un-dead’ and is expected to hit shelves in October 2009.

A film version to ‘The Un-dead’ is also in the works. AEI’s Ken Atchity, Chi-Li Wong, and Michael T. Kuciak will produce the adaptation with Blue Tulip’s Jan de Bont, and are expecting to see it go before the cameras in June ‘09.
