Leslie Klinger – The New Annotated Dracula at San Francisco Public Library – Main Library Koret Auditorium, 100 Larkin St. at Grove, San Francisco

Join us when award-winning Sherlock Holmes scholar Leslie Klinger discusses his latest work, “The New Annotated Dracula.” “Dracula” has gripped readers since its first publication in 1897. While the book has been studied by many scholars, none has accepted Bram Stoker’s declaration that the work was based on historical fact – until now. Kliinger examines all of the evidence including contemporary travel books, scientific texts and Stokers’s notes for clues. An audience discussion and book sale follows the presentation.
