About This Book

From the back cover: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES Except to Harry Keogh, the Necroscope. And what they tell him is horrifying. Long buried in the mountains of Romania, bound by earth and silver, a master vampire lies trapped between death and life. Thibor Ferenczy hungers for freedom and plots an unearthly revenge. The vampire's human tool is Boris Dragosani, an agent for a supersecret Russian spy agency.
