Brown boards with silver lettering on spine. Page dimensions: 216 x 135mm. "Dr. McNally investigates the role which the Bathory legend played in the creation of Stoker's Count Dracula, and explores the implications of blood lust and blood lore, tracing these social aberrations and rituals through modern times. 'Dracula Was a Woman' features a modern analysis of historical and present-day vampires and werewolves and histories of the horror novel and movie. Complete with extensive bibliography and filmography of horror." - from dust-jacket blurb. "Elements of sexual and sadistic hostility, such as one can see in Elizabeth Bathory's treatment of her servant girls, are evident throughout the Dracula novel. It is this oral aggression on the part of Count Dracula, namely, his desire to bite others, that generates much of the excitement in Stoker's 'Dracula'.' - page 103. .
