This book confused me but after reading I was smitten.

Dr. Raymond T. McNally presents the true history of Countess Elizabeth Bathory, the ancient ‘vampire’ of Transylvania. The Countess is reputed to have murdered close to 700 young women in the belief that their blood would keep her young. Dr. McNally recounts her life in detail, using forgotten feudal records–previously untranslated Latin and Hungarian historical accounts–of the Blood Countess’s crimes and trials for witchcraft. The author separates the actual woman from the legendary vampire, in the end recreating a true tale more horrifying than the myth.”

Review: This book provides the reader with an intriguing picture of how the cult of Vampirism may have begun and spread through the person of one Elizabeth Bathory. All legends have an element of truth in them and it is useful to know how that seed of truth grew into the phenomenon that is now generally accepted. The sheer seductiveness of evil cannot be overestimated.
