I am 3/4 of the way through "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova. It is a really interesting take on the story of Dracula, but told through the point of view of historians. It's really hard to describe, but the writing style is very Austenian - it feels old-fashioned, even though it was written 2 years ago and is mainly set in the 70's. I'm not doing a very good job of describing this, but I seriously cannot put this book down. Deliciously frightening and beautifully written.
