<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>A two-volume biography covering Bela Lugosi's life</p><p>from his birth to 1930, when he first played the famous vampire on screen.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The cobwebs of time and space are finally cleared. Drawing on years of research</p><p>across four countries, excavating and analyzing thousands of yellowed documents</p><p>in archives as well as every digitized source, Gary D. Rhodes and Bill Kaffenberger</p><p>shine light from their candelabrum onto a long-forgotten past, onto the creation</p><p>of a legend. Becoming Dracula</em> is a two-volume biography covering Bela Lugosi's life</p><p>from his birth to 1930, when he first played the famous vampire on screen.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>"By presenting a staggering wealth of well researched details, Gary D. Rhodes and Bill</p><p>Kaffenberger create not only the context but the humanity of Lugosi becoming Dracula. Their</p><p>portrait-in-words is nuanced, revealing and sympathetic, but still preserves the mystery and</p><p>majesty of this most charismatic of actors. They introduce the reader to the Hungarian-American</p><p>subculture in which Lugosi found himself when he arrived on the shores of the United States.</p><p>Lugosi was initially the big fish in that small pond, but the authors portray his emergence into</p><p>the vast ocean of Broadway and Hollywood and the fascination Lugosi created with his unique</p><p>presence there." </p><p> - Steve Haberman, screenwriter of Dracula: Dead and Loving It</em> (1995) and </p><p> author of Silent Screams: The History of the Silent Horror Film</em> (Midnight</p><p> Marquee, 2010)</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
