The Blood Countess by Andrei Codrescu (FIRST EDITION) romance_tag He’s a boy who livesFIRST EDITION FIRST PRINTING [1995] Book and dust jacket are both excellent. Light wear. Codrescu expertly weaves together two stories in this neo gothic work: that of the 16th century Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory, a beautiful and terrifying woman who bathes in the blood of virgin girls; and of her distant descendent, a contemporary journalist who must return to his native Hungary and come to terms with his bloody and disturbing past.
