A ship's log, written by a Captain who is totally unaware that he is transporting - hidden in the hold of his ship - a coffin containing Dracula towards the coast of England: a secret cargo of Evil.At a time when vampires seem often to be portrayed as mysteriously fascinating adolescents struggling with complex love lives, this work returns to the roots of the Dracula legend and brings back to life a malevolent and evasive creature: an evanescent spectre, a furtive shadow that hovers - dumb and deadly - around his unsuspecting fellow passengers on-board ship.
