Victor Samuels - The Vampire Women (Popular Library, 1973)  Jeff JonesBlurb THE BLOOD-DRENCHED FANGS OF LIVING DEATH! Vampires? Ghostly women transformed into wolves? Young scientist John Hamilton and his lovely wife laughed at the wild rumors. They had nothing to fear at storm-shrouded Castle Dracula - until they discovered the deathless corpse of Count Dracula himself and unleashed a nightmare of unimagined depravity. From that ghastly moment they were trapped in the inhuman spell of the fiendish Count, and only a taste of their blood could release them - into screaming Hell! GORGED ON AN ORGY OF BLOOD [/color][/center] Another that's creepy crawling toward the top of the 'to re-read pile'. Wonderful blurb, no question about that, but if memory ain't playing mischief, it's all downhill from there. I've read more unscary, pointless rewrites of Dracula than is healthy for a body, and anyone who'll cheerfully list Arabella Randolph's The Vampire Tapes and Ron Goulart's Vampirella #3: Deadwalk among their favourite undead adventures obviously ain't too choosy, but first time around I struggled to find anything to recommend The Vampire Women. Then again, there was a time when Peter Saxon's Vampires Moon didn't do it for me either, so it's bound to be a class..... No, I don't believe that, either.
