Nosferatu: The Vampyre

The Story

A daring modern version of a classic story, Werner Herzog's Dracula is not the one you remember, but it's one you will never forget. Nosferatu is Count Dracula: the pale, wraithlike figure with the seeking mouth. Lucy Harker is the alluring and courageous woman who realizes, in mounting terror, that the only way to defeat a vampyre is to give of herself, totally, from darkness to dawn. Love and innocence, sensuality and death, passion and sacrifice - all are explored with hypnotic intensity in NOSFERATU, a major event of world cinema, and now, with Paul Monette's tingling novel, a literary event as well.
