The Vlad Tapes


A hundred years ago Count Dracula, Vlad Tepes to some, joined forces with Sherlock Holmes in a pact of blood and honor. Herein his new biographer picks up the thread of the Count's adventures:

Book 1:

As an old friend of the family, Dracula is faced with a nest of evil vampires-evil enough, as the Count can attest, to make a vampire shudder.

Book 11:

A L0VE AFFAIR FOR THE AGES? ...

Five hundred years ago their paths first crossed. He possessed her totally, not quite against her will. Until she fled. And was captured. And was punished. And is fleeing still.

OR A LIVING HORROR THAT HAS LOOSED 
THE BONDS OF TIME?

Publisher's Note: Vlad Tapes has been published in parts as An Old Friend of the Family and Thorn. This is the first unitary edition.

"Can it be that we've unfairly maligned Dracula?
We're almost convinced of it ... he's a persuasive devil. He'll have you cheering. . . ."
-Publishers Weekly

"Fred Saberhagen is one of the best writers in the business."
-Stephen R. Donaldson
