The prequel to Dracula , inspired by notes and texts left behind by the author of the classic novel, Dracul is a supernatural thriller that reveals not only Dracula's true origins but Bram Stoker's--and the tale of the enigmatic woman who connects them. It is 1868, and a twenty-one-year-old Bram Stoker waits in a desolate tower to face an indescribable evil. Armed only with crucifixes, holy water, and a rifle, he prays to survive a single night, the longest of his life. Desperate to record what he has witnessed, Bram scribbles down the events that led him here.... A sickly child, Bram spent his early days bedridden in his parents' Dublin home, tended to by his caretaker, a young woman named Ellen Crone. When a string of strange deaths occur in a nearby town, Bram and his sister Matilda detect a pattern of bizarre behavior by Ellen--a mystery that deepens chillingly until Ellen vanishes suddenly from their lives. Years later, Matilda returns from studying in Paris to tell Bram the news that she has seen Ellen--and that the nightmare they've thought long ended is only beginning.

There are two sides to every story... On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer? As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?

David Lynch (1946) è uno dei massimi cineasti statunitensi degli ultimi decenni, vincitore di due Palme d’Oro a Cannes, due César e un Leone d’Oro alla carriera. Con film come Eraserhead e Inland Empire , passando per The Elephant Man , Velluto blu , Twin Peaks e Mulholland Drive , Lynch ha affermato negli anni un proprio personalissimo stile fatto di ambiguità, mistero, perversione, di situazioni vissute in un confine indistinguibile fra sogno e realtà. Gli autori di queste ventiquattro interviste – che ripercorrono l’intera carriera del grande regista, dal 1977 fino a oggi – scavalcano abilmente il riserbo quasi maniacale di Lynch sul significato dei propri film, riuscendo a farlo aprire a risposte mai scontate ma sempre penetranti, con ampie digressioni sulle altre forme artistiche che ama: dalla pittura alla musica, al design. Fra notazioni tecniche, aneddoti dal set, ricordi personali e vere e proprie dichiarazioni di poetica, queste pagine offrono un indimenticabile ritratto in presa diretta di uno dei registi più visionari e geniali della storia del cinema.
