This is a beautifully crafted book combining the elements of mystery, folklore, horror, history, and old world style. If you have ever read Bram Stoker's Dracula you can see an influence with Kostova who emerses you in the three periods that the book encompasses from the first person narratives of those characters involved. If you like history you will love this book. For the out an out horror fan there is a little disappointment coming your way but what Kostova leaves us with is real characters in an unreal situations. I believed it all from the real life settings right down to the bloodsuckers roaming the pages from time to time.
