Van Helsing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798183957594)

The winter of 1798 has turned Ingolstadt into a city of the dead. Snow piles like winding-sheets atop shuttered houses and silent spires, while the university's ancient halls echo with secrets best left forgotten. In the heart of this storm, Abraham Van Helsing keeps midnight vigil among forbidden texts-books bound in human skin, stitched with crimson thread, inscribed with the names of monsters. Outside, the wind rattles the windows with the fury of something alive and hungry.

Van Helsing knows the world is stranger, darker, and more dangerous than any rational mind will admit. He has seen corpses rise from their graves and witnessed the ruin that follows men who dare to cross the boundaries between life and death. Now, as rival scholars pursue the promise of immortality through science or sorcery, the city becomes a crucible for ambition and dread.

In the shadows of the library, Van Helsing uncovers a name whispered in terror across centuries: Dracula. As storms gather both outside and within the university's walls, the destinies of Abraham Van Helsing, restless prodigy Victor Frankenstein, the enigmatic Professor Waldman, and the immortal Prince of the Night entwine-setting the stage for a collision between reason and nightmare, science and superstition, life and the hunger that stalks beyond the grave.

History is about to awaken, and death will not be denied.
