Kostova has clearly done A LOT of research and it was interesting to learn about the history behind Vlad the Imapler, the Ottoman Empire, Medieival Europe, and even the Soviet Union. Overall, I actually quite enjoyed this book. She has taught at many universities and founded the Elizabeth Kostova Foundation, which helps Bulgarian writers and translators.Ĭlassified technically as a horror novel, The Historianspans a few generations of historians searching for the existence of Dracula, his tomb, and proof that vampires walk the earth. This is a book I got in a blind date book box over a year ago and only just got around to reading it…oops.Įlizabeth Kostova’s debut novel is The Historian, but since she has written two other novels, The Swan Thieves and The Shadow Land. I finally did it! I finished the massive tome that is The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, published by Little Brown.
