Strega

Rating:
Summary: Outstanding contemporary vampire story.
Review: Vampire stories a dime-a-dozen, but authors Richard and Joy Bamberg have found an exciting new twist -- a dramatic extention of the original Dracula story penned by Bram Stoker, in which American Quincey Morris played a pivotal role in the vampire lord's death. Now Dracula's "widow" has come to the American Southwest to avenge her master's death by spilling the blood of Morris' modern-day descendents in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Seductive as she is deadly, Strega toys with her prey at first, but she will not be satisfied until all Morris' descendents are bled white and and the deadliest vampire of all is awakened from his slumber. Excellent dramatic reading by Maynard Villers.
