The Vampire Countess

Paul Féval

Horror

Original title: La Vampire (1856).

The particular gift of Countess Addhema was to be reborn as beautiful and young as love itself every time she could apply to the hideous bareness of her skull a living head of hair. I mean a scalp, torn from the head of a living victim. This was why her tomb was full of the skulls of young women and adolescent girls.

Written in 1856 – over 40 years before Bram Stoker's Dracula – The Vampire Countess is one of three classic vampire stories penned by Paul Féval, along with Knightshade and Vampire City.
