<b>From a Bram Stoker Award winner, the first tale of the ancient Carpathian vampire, set in the Paris of King Louis XV . . .</b><br>  <br> Le Comte de Saint‐Germain appears to be a wealthy, worldly aristocrat, envied and desired by many but fully known to none. In fact, he is a vampire, born in the Carpathian Mountains in 2119 BCE, turned in his late thirties, and destined to roam the world forever, watching and participating in history.<br>  <br> In <i>Hôtel Transylvania</i>, this charismatic hero makes his first appearance in the long-running series as he battles against Satanists to preserve the young Madelaine de Montalia from ruin. It’s a richly atmospheric tale of dark fantasy and gothic suspense from the first woman to be named a “Living Legend” by the International Horror Guild, an author who uses “her vampire hero as a lens to focus on the best and worst of human behavior throughout history” (<i>Publishers Weekly</i>).
