Young Dr. Dracula is the envy of all. Heir to an aristocratic Hungarian family, he lives very well indeed, studying medicine during the day and partying with Parisian high society at night. Yet he is pursued by strange sexual urges. In a jealous rage, he kills a beautiful patient from the local insane asylum, then drinks her blood--an act that will enventually consume him, body and soul.
Returning to Hungary to assume his noble duty as lord of the ancestral estate, Dracula tries in vain to control his increasingly twisted desires. By day he selflessly ministers to the sick and poor, but at night he savagely murders young women, driven by an uncontrollable lust to suck the lifeblood from his trusting victims. His murder spree continues unchecked, speeding to a horrifying climax and a breathtaking, unforgettable finale.
A brilliant and erotic retelling of the Dracula myth, here is a very different Dracula--not a monster, but a man, struggling to resist his evil impulses--a serial killer who cannot stop himself from killing again and again and again. |
