Dracula's Lost World
"Black forces. It is a most unnatural night. Black, rainy, and cold. The kind of cold that penetrates the bones, Like death. A middle-aged couple walk to their apartment. In the dim hall the light casts a macabre pattern on their faces. The faces of corpses at the stroke of midnight.
The man feels suffocated by a sense of impending doom. He shudders, secretly hoping that he will be alive in the morning. A strange thought, indeed ... He turns his key in the lock and slowly opens the door. Suddenly his wife gasps, and he turns pale with terror. They have seen something in the blackness beyond the door.
Something horrifying. Like death! Then they hear the voice: "Come inside, both of you. Please. Kindly do as I say--or you both will die where you stand!"--Back cover
