Elizabeth Bathory - Paperback

by Edward Eaton (Author)

When Elizabeth Bathory discovers the blood of maidens will keep her young, she sets off on a killing spree that lasts for years and results in the deaths of hundreds. When finally caught, she is walled up inside her own castle, still young and beautiful while being denied the adoration she so craves. Then a young priest, seeking fame and advancement, comes to try to save her. Will her need for his flesh be stronger than his need for her soul? Based on a true story, Elizabeth Bathory is widely considered to be one of the inspirations for Dracula. [Drama (Play in 5 Scenes) Released in 2012 by Dragonfly Publishing, Inc.]
