Everyone in the village of Badstein knows how to eliminate the vampire preying on its young daughters: Find the coffin he sleeps in during the day and drive a wooden stake through his heart. But how can you find you quarry if you don’t know who he is and your suspects are many. There’s a dark-complexioned Latour, given to wandering at night and sleeping during the day… and handsome Baron Meinster, supposedly traveling in the Orient but rumored to be hiding in his ancient chateau… and the stranger, Professor Van Helsing … it could be anyone. Meanwhile, the victims multiply - all female, all young, and all marked with the telltale sign of the vampire. This is the first volume of The NightMare Series from noted film historian and author, Philip J Riley. The purpose of the series is to preserve the 50s and 60s Horror Film, movie tie-in novels that are printed on old crumbling pulp paper; to bring them in this new format for a new century. These are the original novels by various authors, not the scripts as in the editor’s Filmonster Series and the MagicImage Filmbook series.
