The personal papers of the enigmatic Professor Abraham Van Helsing are collected and presented for the first time by his longtime colleague and defender, Dr. John Seward. Texas, 1891 Following the defeat of Count Dracula, Abraham Van Helsing - suffering from violent recurring fantasies - checks himself into Jack Seward's Purfleet Asylum. Once discharged, he volunteers to return the ashes and personal effects of the late Quincey P. Morris (the American adventurer who died in battle with the nefarious Count) home to the Morris family ranch in Sorefoot, Texas. Van Helsing arrives to find Quincey's brother, Cole Morris, embroiled in an escalating land dispute with a group of neighboring Norwegian ranchers led by the enigmatic Sig Skoll. When cattle and men start turning up slaughtered, the locals suspect a wild animal, but Van Helsing thinks a preternatural culprit is afoot. Is a shapeshifter stalking the Texas plains, or are the phantasms of his previously disordered mind returning? The intrepid professor must decide soon, for the life of Skoll's beautiful new bride may hang in the balance.

Professor Abraham Van Helsing in the Wild West! What more could one ask for? [Erdelac]
melds�the stylistic�concepts [of Dracula]�perfectly with those of the classic western tales.
I enjoyed this book immensely - The British Fantasy Society
"...a well written and entertaining read recommended for anyone with a passion for for vampire and werewolf lore." - Paul Green, Author Of The Encyclopedia of Weird Westerns
This continuation of life after Dracula done in the style in the great book results in a novel of near equal greatness. - Cory Gross, Voyages Extradordinaires

Professor Abraham Van Helsing in the Wild West! What more could one ask for?
By David L. Brzeski
I'd been meaning to get around to reading one of Ed Erdelac's books for quite some time, when this advance review copy came my way. I'd already bought all three of his 'Merkabah Rider' series, but hadn't yet found the time to get to them.
Professor Abraham Van Helsing in the Wild West! What more could one ask for?
Seriously, not much! This excellent novel follows Van Helsing as he travels to Texas to deliever the ashes of Quincy P. Morris to his brother Coleman.
On the way, he meets a beautiful Greek lady, who is en route to join her fianc�, a neighbouring Norwegian rancher. Relations are not good between the Morris' and the Norwegians and the fact that a mountain lion seems to be taking a dreadful toll on the livestock is not helping.
It's not long before it's not only cattle that are being killed and mutilated, and Van Helsing suspects the culprit is no mountain lion.
Brawling ranch-hands, a drunken newspaperman, a one-legged, one-handed, one-eyed, one-eared horse-trader and a native American shaman make up the numbers on Van Helsing's side. On the other, we have a group of giant Norwegian Odin cultists just for starters.
Edward M. Erdelac tells the story quite brilliantly in the same sort of journal, letters, newspaper article style as Dracula and in certain sections, cuss words are censored in exactly the same way we're used to seeing them in novels of the 19th century. Details like this add enormously to the feel of the book. He melds these stylistic concepts perfectly with those of the classic western tales.
I enjoyed this book immensely and was very pleased to note all the hints that were laid for possible future books. The occasional mention of "the Great Detective" especially intrigued me.

Van Helsing rides again!
By Walt Hicks
As in the first Dracula film, where a nervous Van Helsing (portrayed by Edward Van Sloan) informs a terrified audience in a long-lost epilogue: "There really are such things as vampires!" it seems that Bram Stoker's collection of diary entries, newspaper clippings, letters and other epistolary devices just may have indeed been fact, not fiction! What if--? What if Professor Van Helsing, Count Dracula and the rest of the characters in Stoker's tome actually existed?
If we are to believe the basis for Terovolas: The Van Helsing Papers (compiled?) by Edward M. Erdelac and published by JournalStone, Professor Van Helsing not only existed, but had further, even more bizarre adventures after his legendary confrontation with the non-dead Count. In an assembled collection of diary entries, letters, journal writings, and newspaper clippings, Terovolas begins shortly after the events chronicled in Dracula and Van Helsing has just been released from his friend and physician's care at Dr. John Seward's Purfleet Asylum. Still suffering from recurrent violent fantasies and nightmares, Van Helsing volunteers to return the remains and personal effects of his friend and fellow adventurer, American Quincey P. Morris (killed in the pitched battle with the vampire lord) to the latter's hometown of Sorefoot, Texas. En route, Van Helsing encounters a lovely Greek woman named Madame Callisto Terovolas, who is engaged to Norwegian cattleman Sigmund Skoll. As Van Helsing meets Quincey's estranged brother Coleman Morris, he discovers that the Norwegian faction and the Texans are on the verge of a range war and that something wild and ferocious is slaughtering animals and men alike on the plains. Concerned for his own sanity, Van Helsing embarks on a wild and wooly mission to save the beautiful Greek woman from what he deduces is a diabolic cult as well as himself from his own shaky judgment.
JournalStone's edition of Terovolas is well-laid out, easy on the eyes, and well-proofed (of course, the journal/diary entries of those concerned are preserved here, even with spelling, grammatical or syntax peculiarities). The cover art by M. Wayne Miller (design by Denise Daniel) is a nice wrap-around piece and is evocative and compelling.
It is quite fortuitous that Erdelac would be the one who accidentally discovered this particular treasure trove of information originally compiled by Dr. Seward; Erdelac is himself a gifted storyteller and has demonstrated a brilliant conversance with certain wild West antics (if seemingly fictitious), as evidenced by his works including the mind-blowing and richly textured Merkabah Rider series and Buff Tea, among other works brimming with late nineteenth century Americana, authenticity, action and adventure. Thanks to Erdelac and Sewards' clever assemblage of documents, the reader is here treated to a fast-paced, exhilarating adventure filled with colorful, compelling characters, scary, harrowing battles, historical detail and heart-felt emotion. The melting pot nature of the American West in the 1890s is colorfully brought to bear, with a complex amalgam of Norse mythology, Native American mythology, European religion and superstition. Toward the stunning denouement, a couple of important, but slightly long expository entries slow the pace somewhat, but certainly this is a minor detail in an otherwise exciting tale rich with strikingly authentic details. Believe the captivating contents as you will, but by the end of compiler Erdelac's closing remarks, you will certainly want to read further adventures of Professor Van Helsing and you will undoubtedly ask yourself,
"What if--?"
A solid 4.5 entry.

almost a 5 star read
By Pamela Chismar
I received this book through Librarything's Early Reviewer Program.
Terovolas takes you to Sorefoot, Texas in the year 1891 & brings back the great paranormal hunter Abraham Van Helsing. A simple quest to return a dear friends ashes to his homeland turns into something much more frightening (and intriguing to Van Helsing).
The story had me enthralled. I am a lover of Dracula and Van Helsing stories, so I knew I would enjoy this. There was plenty of action with very descriptive passages. Even though I knew who/what was responsible for the attacks, it came in a sort of twist I didn't see coming.
I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5 only because it was taken from somebody else's idea. It's a great addition to the Van Helsing story. But original characters and storyline would have received 5 stars from me. I do recommend that anyone who enjoys paranormal stories should read this one.
