Through the land of Vampires a virginal young man bicycles resolutely onward. But in her dark castle, the beautiful countess waits to ensnare him in her unnatural slumber. In a world rich with suggestion of terror – where fiction is no stranger than fact – vampires, virgins, cannibals and necrophiliacs perform the figures of a weird dance.
