A Feast of Blood

A TREASURY OF GREAT HORROR CLASSICS The Resurrection of the Vampire... Follow the vampire through two hundred years of dark, haunting mystery: a dashing count with deadly appeal... a lady in black bearing a secret from another man's life... an innocent young man bound by a terrible vow to a deadly companion... a beautiful woman returned from the grave to torment the husband who loved her... a young boy with a strange pet and a blood-curdling ambition... these are only a few of the diabolical entities whose souls rise from the pages of this book, to haunt the reader with visions of dark terror—and a fellowship of blood.
