La belle dormeuse

Countess Báthory, notorious both amongst the living and the
undead, steps out of Vienna’s labyrinthine subterranean canals
and back into the Upper World to track down a dangerous book
that resurfaces through the ages, moving humans to tears and
transforming vampires into ordinary mortals. Together with her
lady’s maid, the “Beautiful Sleeper”, la “Comtesse Sanglante”
begins searching for the book. They follow hidden clues, forging a
bloody path through eerily beautiful Vienna and its surroundings.
The two ladies are followed by the Countess’ pale nephew, Rudi
Bubi von Strudl zu Buchtelau, a vegetarian vampire terrified by
the sight of blood and flesh, and his opportunistic, Freudianism
to Behaviourism-converted psychotherapist.
