Novelist Kostova lands $2 million advance for Dracula saga
Ann Arbor author Elizabeth Kostova debuts with The Historian, a five decade, multi country thriller blending Vlad the Impaler lore with Dracula myth. Publisher Little Brown compares it to The Da Vinci Code as Sony buys movie rights. The book, out June 14, sold at auction for 2.05 million dollars, far above typical debuts. Kostova, 40, says money was not the goal but a lucky outcome for a literary project born from childhood Dracula tales and Balkan folklore.
