Elizabeth Bathory was born on 7 August 1560 in a very well known and renowned family of Bethory’s in Transilvania. Countess Elizabeth bathory biography is very much interesting, it is said that at the age of 5 she suffered some violent seizures, which may be due to some neurological disorder and are said to have something to do with her psychotic behavior in later part of her life.
At the age of 15 somewhere in and around 1575 Elizabeth got married to Count Ferencz Nadasdy. The Count and Elizabeth lived a long part of their life in the castle of Cachitce in Slovakia.
At the age of 51 Count Ferencz died in a war and this was the time when Countess’s life changed. Elizabeth then was around in her 40s she started getting fear of getting old and thought that increasing age may affect her beauty.

One day a maid accidently pulled her hair while combing, this annoyed the Countess very much and she slapped the maid in hand so hard that it started bleeding; the blood fell on Elizabeth’s hand. As she wiped off the drops she realized that the skin covered with maid’s blood had tightened and was feeling fresher, this incident gave her the idea of her eternal youth.
With the help of her major she got the maid stripped and cut and her blood was collected in a big vat in which Elizabeth later took bath to beautify her. This psychic act continued for many years which took lives of many innocent young girls.
Later there was a trial and she was accused and was imprisoned till her death. For her cruel killings she is known as “Lady Dracula” in history.

Hello! I enjoyed Innocent Traitor but I read it after The Lady Elizabeth by the same author and I think I slightly prefered The Lady Elizabeth - maybe because the characters overlapped into both books. In The Lady Elizabeth, I found the details and research on Princess Elizabeth who later became Queen Elizabeth 1 fascinating as most information (fact or fiction) written about her is usually after she became queen.
Love the website! I have a clever daughter!!
Did anyone notice how many times “Countess” DeLessops said Edward rather than Andrew? And why was she even there? To add her view as another ex-wife albeit of much lesser nobility as to how hard it is once discarded as she was? Perhaps he dumped her for a more educated woman. The only thing the “Countess” fought tooth and nail for in her divorce was to keep the title of Countess. At least Fergie isn't assaulting the public with a “hit new single”. Money obviously didn't buy either of them class.
The comic books have actually established quite a history between Spike and Dracula, which is quite hilarious.
For example, the 12 pounds Dracula owes Spike is for a copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula that Spike was purchasing for Dru, when Drac walked into the bookstore, where it promptly got thrown in a fire, when Spike started berating him for revealing their weaknesses.
Hey indie! Poppy, haven’t seen you in a hot minute. What’s up?
You should read both Dracula and Frankenstein. Frankenstein is, I think, a more philosophical story. More good vs. evil, but a great read. Anne Rice has written some tremendous vampire stories. No, not the lovie dovie garbage that "gave" us Twilight and teeanage blood suckers in love. People have been fascinated by vampire stories for a hundred years. Leave it to Hollywood to destroy even that with the crap they put out now. But there still are some great stories to read. And you won't have to listen to 1,000 drooling teenyboppers to read them.
Using initials here reminds me of a monologue delivered by comedian Stephen Fry. In it he portrays Mr Lawson-Particle, a solicitor who is assigned the account of Count Dracula. He doesn't know Dracula's sinister nature and the following conversation ensues:
Dracula: What blood type are you?
Lawson-Particle: Ey?
Dracula (louder): I said what blood type are you?
Lawson-Particle: Oh, B!
A Starbucks to the one who can figure out the joke (Hint: It's British humour so it's a bit cerebral.) =)

This Global Reading Challenge is very interesting!I love reading books from far countries. By now my favourite are “The God of small things” (India), “The kite runner” (Afghanistan) and “The pleasure seekers” (India). The third book has been published in May 2010, the other ones are older, so I guess they wouldn’t count in the G.R. Challenge. Thank you for your reviews. I will definitely check out “Theft” (I’m interested in catching a glimpse of - a wellwritten - professional art world), while I don’t know about Dracula. When it comes to vampires and clowns (Stephen Kind, anyone?!) I’m kind of a fraidy cat. :)Have a great week! Bye-bye!
Best movie ever. I thought it was so cool. Even if I didn't like neither Keanu Reeves's performance nor Winona Ryder's…even if she WAS hot. Even so,…I still LOVE that movie. And I also love the way it was shot. I love all the camera tricks. My favorite part is when he first appears to Mina on the streets of London. & when they're drinking absinthe. Then again when he turns into that huge bat! I also love when he's crying & his face is all bat-like.
The costumes were really cool.

The State Department is maintaining a “counter-misinformation” page on an America.gov blog that attempts to “debunk a conspiracy theory” that President Obama was not born in the United States, as if the topic were equivalent to believing space aliens visit Earth in flying saucers.
bobbygnosis, i sort of get what you mean, but like you said–that idea is way off the stratosphere for money-lovers. Living w/o money is like life w/o water.
All that just to get bitten …. D:
Ricciarelli was fired by the Met when she cancelled her scheduled appearances in Manon Lescaut around 1985. (Freni replaced her.)The Met had scheduled Ricciarelli to sing the Countess in a new production of Le Nozze the following season but was having second thoughts on account of her deteriorating vocal condition. Her short-notice withdrawal from Manon Lescaut was the last straw - or the excuse - and the Met cancelled her contract. (Vaness was the Countess in that production.)Some years later in order to have him conduct, the Met allowed Chailly to pick his casts. Ricciarelli then came back as Desdemona for a handful of performances with Domingo and Chailly conducting. And that was the end of the Ricciarelli story at the Met.
Well the Count drank his wifes blood so it could be her. In fact it is believed by many that he and his wife were vampires. I think someone claimed to see both of them gouging into a peasents throat. obviously he died but he wrote on a paper that he saw this and it survived. So she could be a vampire too, true
