Title: Sensible handling of a difficult topic
Product review: I'm always grateful to find a book handling E. Bathory's story in a sensible manner, since you find plenty of trashy things written about her.To me, the book Countess Dracula seems carefully researched, it's also good that the Countess' story gets related with the turbulent history of her country in her times.Also, the book shows that Bathory's story can be read in different ways(concerning her motives for murder, e.g.). And her character is very difficult to access.Another book I definitely recommend about her is "Heroine des Grauens", edited by M. Farin. It has just bee re-edited, unfortunately I've not heard of an English version of it (it's written in German).
