The Countess  -  Rebecca Johns

A novel of Elizabeth Báthory

KORTE INHOUD

In 1611, Countess Erzsébet Báthory, a powerful Hungarian noblewoman, stood helpless as masons walled her inside her castle tower, dooming her to spend her final years in solitary confinement. Her crime - the gruesome murders of dozens of female servants, mostly young girls tortured to death for displeasing their ruthless mistress.
In this riveting dramatization of the Countess Báthory's life, she tells her story in her own worlds - her noble upbringing, a loveless arranged marriage, her love for her only son, and the illicit pleasures of a secret affair. But a darker side surfaces as Countess Báthory'sdemands for virtue, obedience, and - above all - respect take a sinister turn.
