Dracula's Cat
()
About this ebook
Human evil at its most hateful meets the best in classic supernatural horror...with a diabolical twist.
The year is 1944. The Nazi juggernaut is jackbooting its way across the shattered landscape of war-torn Rumania. Their destination: a place whose very name evokes shudders and fearful signs of the cross, a place where the Third Reich's engineers can work with the certainty that they will never be disturbed. In the cobwebbed solitude of Count Dracula's ancient castle, they set about final development of the jet-engined Horten XVIII fighter bomber, a fearsome tailless aircraft wrought in the shape of giant black bat.
But deep in the castle's crypts, undead life stirs. Of the horrors that ended there half a century earlier, one vestige still remains: a deceptively frail black cat. This is a special cat, endowed with bizarre powers, a cat that has waited 50 years for her opportunity to reshape the course of human history....
"Dracula's Cat" is more than a horror story. It's a moving, impeccably researched portrayal of daily military life during World War II, as seen from the German point of view. In particular it shows the awakening of one kindly, unsuspecting young soldier. Across the course of story, he learns about love about war...and about the extremity of the horrors hidden behind the twisted cross printed on the flag he has sworn to defend.
