In an age of science, one tale of the supernatural continues to seduce us: the legend of the vampire. Embodied in the persona of Count Dracula, this pale, elegant aristocrat lusts for blood, making him at once repulsive… and irresistible. By day, he hides his face from the light… by night; he escapes the velvet confines of his coffin and flaps off to drain helpless damsels of their lifeblood. At last, scientists are digging vampires out of their tombs to take a good, long look at them. What they’re finding is a surprising factual side to the ancient legend. Fact may be stranger than fiction!
