A portrait of Hungarian countess Elizabeth Bathory follows her real-life sixteenth-century reign of torture and murder

"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Review:
A folk belief that on bitter cold nights the stars come down to mate with wolves. An adolescent boy, sexually aroused by an "iron maiden" torture device. The smell of paprika and boiled chicken served with Tokay wine. These and other vivid images of Hungary in the 16th century, and Hungary today, swirl together amid scenes of luxury and barbarity and talk of Martin Luther's Christianity and post-Communist ideals in this gloriously gruesome novel inspired by the life of Countess Elizabeth Bathory. They say she killed 650 virgin girls in order to rejuvenate herself with their blood.
From the Publisher:

The National Bestseller

"As compellingly readable as it is thoughtfully intelligent...The Blood Countess is that rarest of things, a new American novel of serious literary merit that is actually about something."--San Jos Mercury News

"A brilliant work that reveals much about power and politics and obsession." --St. Petersburg Times

"The Blood Countess is a wonderful and accurate re-creation of history by a very knowledgeable author. A page turner!" --William S. Burroughs

"The Blood Countess will frost your plasma, curdle your goulash, and stir your nightmares with a golden shiv." --Tom Robbins
