Enjoyed it then (some time in the late 80s?), enjoyed it now! ( ) fuzzipueo | Apr 24, 2022 | Honour, romance, blood, death, and the human struggle to fight for family and love, even in the face of impossible odds. It all culminates in the kind of snowstorm that shuts down major cities, isolating everyone and ensuring that no help can come. Kate Southerland, her fiance (kind of) Joe, and her family are alone against an ancient vampire, a giant vampire, and the unknown. Well... alone, except for one dedicated angel of vengeance: Vlad Tepes. Still enjoying this series. Looking forward to [b:Thorn|16493|Thorn (Dracula Series, #4)|Fred Saberhagen|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1393479464l/16493._SY75_.jpg|18185]. (  ) James_Patrick_Joyce | Oct 24, 2020 | It appears to work as a standalone. I've previously read most of Saberhagen's 'swords' series; I believe this is the first I've read by him that isn't part of that series. However, it's pretty much what I expected - an easy, quick-moving, entertaining read without too much depth or complexity to it. Set in the 70's (it was published in 1979, so it was meant to be contemporary, but the setting is so strongly 70's it feels like a period piece), a group of vampires decide to destroy an innocent family. The teenage daughter is murdered; the teenage son is kidnapped. In desperation, the mother of the family conducts an old family ritual - surely just superstition? But soon, a kindly old doctor arrives to help. As this is the 'Dracula' series, it's not a spoiler to say that the doctor, who introduces himself as an old family friend, is actually Dracula.

The Southerland family left the old world to start anew in America, but little did they know that a blood-feud, older than history itself, would follow them through the generations to come. Kate Southerland, the first born of the latest generation of Southerlands, has been murdered, but she is not dead. Her little brother, Johnny, has also vanished, a severed, bloody finger the only clue. But the Southerlands have no clue what they've fallen into. Their enemy is no mortal madman, but the undying mistress of evil enchantment, Morgan Le Fay, and the Southerlands are not her true target. She seeks to do battle with their protector, their defender, the only man who is capable of saving this mortal family from a war they've never realized was waged.
