Arthur Lennig, emeritus professor of cinema at the University of Albany, is the author of Stroheim and several other books on silent film.
"A moving, lively, witty, sad book that revives once more the long
dead Count Dracula." -- Kirkus
"In this intelligent biography, Lennig details the talented
Hungarian-born actor's five marriages, drug addictions, feuds with
Boris Karloff, and appearances in Ed Wood's humiliating movies,
drawing on firsthand information, archives, interviews, and years
of research." -- Library Journal
"Lennig's lifelong worship of his subject adds an intensely
personal flavor to this biography of the complex horror king, which
shines in its ability to respect Lugosi's talent, regardless of
personality flaws." -- Publisher's Weekly
"One comes away from Lennig's book with a deep respect for both
Lugosi and the author himself." -- Scary Monsters Magazine
"Remains passionately personal in its outlook, but thanks to new
research and greater availability of films it also offers a more
comprehensive and richly detailed study of Bela Lugosi's complex
personality." -- Paul M. Jensen
"The definitive account of Lugosi's tragic life and times." --
Turner Classic Movies
"This book is long overdue and is highly recommended as biography,
film history and pop culture. It is the last word on Lugosi." --
National Board of Review
"Will stand for a long time as the definitive book about the man
who incarnated Dracula, to the great detriment of his career." --
Lexington Herald-Leader
