Douglas Brode | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

This blend of history and dark fantasy feasts upon vampire lore, reinventing the manner in which real-life monsters in middle-Eastern Europe were transformed into pop culture icons by two of Ireland's great writers. Dubliners Sheridan Le Fanu and Bram Stoker travel to Transylvania where they race to save the women they love from the sanguinary Countess Elizabeth Bathory. After the blood bath, Le Fanu and Stoker pose as Dr. John Seward and Professor Abraham Van Helsing to confront Vlad the Impaler and Count Dracula himself. Together again, for the first time, this immortal cast of devils and doppelgangers offers a highly erotic exploration of the vampire's eternal allure.
