McNally was a Professor of East European history at Boston College who specialised in books about horror, and researched the origins of the Dracula legend. Here he focuses on the story of Countess Elizabeth Bathory, the ancient 'vampire' of Transylvania who was reputed to have murdered hundreds of young women in the belief that their blood would keep her young. He looks to separate the known facts from the legend. A fascinating work. A really nice copy in nr Fine condition.

Dr. Raymond T. McNally presents the true history of Countess Elizabeth Bathory, the ancient 'vampire' of Transylvania.

The author separates the actual woman from the legendary vampire, in the end recreating a true tale more horrifying than the myth."
