Some tell of a great city of black jasper which has streets and
buildings like any other city but is eternally in mourning,
enveloped by perpetual gloom. Some call it Selene, some Vampire
City, but the vampires refer to it among themselves by the name of
the Sepulchre... To destroy the dreaded vampire lord Otto Goetzi,
writer Ann Radcliffe, Merry Bones the Irishman, and Grey Jack her
faithful servant, launch an all-out attack on Selene... "We can
easily see in Vampire City the ultimate literary ancestor of Buffy
the Vampire-Slayer."-Brian Stableford. Paul F?val (1816-1887) was
the author of numerous popular swashbuckling novels and one of the
fathers of the modern crime thriller. Brian Stableford has
published more than fifty novels and two hundred short stories.
Vampire City was written in 1867-thirty years before Bram Stoker's
Dracula-and is one of three classic vampire stories also available
from Black Coat Press.
In vita mors, in morte vita In life, death; in death, life The
particular gift of Countess Addhema was to be reborn beautiful and
young every time she could apply to the hideous bareness of her
skull a living head of hair, a scalp, torn from the head of a
living victim. This was why her tomb was full of the skulls of
young women... Ren? recoiled in horror at the sight of his mistress
restored to her real condition: the cadaver of an old woman,
fleshless, cold, totally bald and already turning to dust... "After
1856, it would be a long time before any other writer contrived a
vampire as perversely charismatic as Addhema; she is really three
vampires in one. She is, first and foremost, the
vampire-as-libido-run-wild, but she is certainly the
vampire-as-gold-digger too, and she may well have something of the
vampire-as-muse to complete her mystique."-Brian Stableford. Paul
F?val (1816-1887) was the author of numerous popular swashbuckling
novels and one of the fathers of the modern crime thriller. Brian
Stableford has published more than fifty novels and two hundred
short stories. The Vampire Countess was written in 1855-forty years
before Bram Stoker's Dracula-and is one of three classic vampire
stories also available from Black Coat Press.
