Leslie S. Klinger is considered to be one of the world’s foremost authorities on those twin icons of the Victorian era, Sherlock Holmes and Dracula. He is the editor of the three-volume collection of the short stories and novels, THE NEW ANNOTATED SHERLOCK HOLMES, published by W. W. Norton in 2004 and 2005, winner of the Edgar Award for Best Critical/Biographical Work and nominated for every other major award in the mystery genre.

His new work, THE NEW ANNOTATED DRACULA, to be published by W. W. Norton on October 31, 2008, promises a similar in-depth examination of Bram Stoker’s haunting classic and its historical context.
