Description:
Before Dracula, before Nosferatu... there was Varney the Vampire. A fierce storm rages over an antique English mansion, masking the scratching sounds at a young woman's window. As a jagged flash of lightning illuminates the room, a gaunt, terrifying figure breaks through the glass. He possesses the strength of a fiend, eyes that look like polished tin, and hideously protruding fangs. Flora Bannerworth survives the midnight attack, but she has been marked. Now, the remaining heirs of the cursed Bannerworth family must band together to defend their ancestral home and their very souls from a seemingly immortal beast who rises with the full moon to slake his thirst for human blood.
