The Secret Life of Laszlo, Count Dracula

There have never been vampires, only tortured human beings. This is the provocative premise of this chilling novel in which Anscombe creates the memoirs of Laszlo, Count Dracula – aristocrat, doctor, and helpless killer of young women. Set in the 19th century, Laszlo's story begins at medical school in Paris with a deadly attraction to a mental patient that leads him away from aristocratic society into the city's dark underworld. Laszlo returns to Transylvania to accede his dead brother's title. There he cultivates his image as a saintly doctor & trusted nationalist agent by day – while the savage stalks the night with increasing cunning and ferocity. Evil, madness and sexuality!
