B. is a small town in the mountains, on the border with Transylvania. A young artist trained in Paris spends her summer holidays here in her great-aunt's villa. She loves nature, the bucolic landscape and the simple life of the local people. What she doesn't want to admit for a long time are the social abysses, the lack of prospects and the desperation of her friends. But disaster comes with the discovery of a corpse - badly mauled by the prince of darkness.
Scary, profound, archaic: A breathtakingly atmospheric novel about revenge and extremism and the longing for a strong hand, for a strict, cruel judge - like Dracula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00bbA strong novel that refreshes and updates the narrative of the politically oriented horror story in its own way. Not to mention his linguistic class.\u00ab
