A remarkably trenchant swing for the fences, Sam Austen's Dracula (For Your Cat) is an unexpectedly sophisticated translation, reducing Stoker's narrative machinery to its most barest elements, while retaining all of its atmosphere, absurdity, and peculiar menace. A singular act of adaptation. You may not like it, but this is literature.

Beneath an apparent joke is a genuine critical intelligence. By translating Dracula into the imagined perceptual world of the domestic cat, the book makes the familiar strange again, and reminds us just how much of Stoker's novel is concerned with territory, predation, vivid nocturnes, and creatures lurking just outside the doors of the mundane.
