This is a Sinhala-language book from Godage International Publishers, an established Colombo house that publishes across Sinhala and English. The text is in Sinhala throughout, so it will suit readers who are comfortable in the language — buyers ordering from abroad should be clear about that before adding it to a basket.
The title places the book in the company of Bram Stoker's Dracula, the Irish author's vampire novel and the source of the Dracula figure as most readers know him. Thissa Hewavissa is the writer here, working in Sinhala for a Sinhala readership.
Books of this kind form part of a long habit in Sri Lankan publishing of bringing well-known European fiction and its figures to Sinhala readers, often in compact volumes aimed at general and younger readers rather than scholars. It is a slim book rather than a weighty one.
Of interest to Sinhala readers drawn to gothic and horror material, to parents and teachers building a Sinhala reading shelf at home or in a classroom, and to collectors of Godage titles abroad.
