I very much like his Dracula stuff...at least, the first three books, the movie novelization, and a few of the rest of his series. The quality gets a bit uneven in some of the later books, IMO.

Didn't stop me from scooping the first nine up at Kobo at 75% off, though, despite the horrible new covers. Don't get me wrong; I love it when authors (or, in this case, their estates) get the rights back and reprint older works as ebooks - but sometimes, the covers are so bad that I start to wonder if they're pirated editions. When that's the case, the cover is really Not Good Enough. The Holmes-Dracula File is a prime example; what on earth is a bland street map doing as the cover of an awesome book about Dracula meeting Sherlock Holmes?!? It's enough to tempt someone to prowl Google Images for the old cover art...
