Dracula

Der junge Sir Johann Adderley Bancroft – H?rern aus Artmanns unvergesslichem Geheimnis des Werwolfs" als ebenso zaghaft wie begehrenswert bekannt – hat sich mit seiner Verlobten Edwarda Cornwallis auf den Weg zum Grafen Dracula gemacht. Da alle Wege eines britischen Adligen ?ber London f?hren, hatte er dort auch Bram Stoker aufgesucht, der ihn nicht nur durch seine schier unglaublichen Vampir-Geschichten, sondern auch durch seine Kenntnis der transsylvanischen Geographie und Tradition beeindruckte. Wenig sp?ter sitzen Bancroft, Student des Transsylvanischen und Huzulischen und Edwarda im Zug von Szathmar nach Mandrak und werden dort, im Herzen der Karpaten, Zeugen allerseltsamster Hochzeitsbr?uche. So wird die Tochter des B?rgermeisters im Fledermaussalon des Dracula-Schlosses auf ein Streckbett geschnallt, ein junger J?ger wird tot und blutleer im Wald aufgefunden, neben ihm ein Postbote. Ebenfalls blutleer. Und was mit Edwarda, Bancrofts scheuer Verlobten, geschieht … man muss es h?ren, um es zu glauben!"
