Description
"The French Revolution. Dr. Guillotin's invention proves a success -- and live entertainment for the new "Citizens" of Paris. As heads roll and the streets run red, an outsider, comatose by day, prowls the city at night, seeking only survival amidst the fickle populace and tumultuous political climate. A foreign nobleman born three centuries earlier, he is Don Sebastian de Villanueva, a vampire from neighboring Spain. But even a vampire must live by his wits, especially when caught between two lovers on either side of a guillotine: the depraved Countess de Corville, scheduled for a final haircut, and Madeleine, her former maid, liberated in all senses of the word. Amidst the social and political maze of Parisian life, we meet such notables as the Marquis de Sade, "Citizen" Robespierre, Dr. Guillotin himself, and a cast of thousands. And we soon learn along with Don Sebastian that a jealous woman is sometimes more dangerous than Dr. Guillotin's blade -- or a vampire's kiss. In Citizen Vampire, Les Daniels weaves a Gobelin tapestry of history and vampirism that will surprise and delight aficionados of both." --cover pages [2-3].
