Anne Wicklow returns to Moura, the home she had shared with her late husband, to assume the duties of housekeeper for the new tenants. The mysterious Maitre Stavko and his eerily beautiful daughter Tyra are running Moura as an academy for young ladies. Anne must come to grips not only with the ghosts of her own memories, but with strange ""unholy doings"" at Moura as well. While the starving and desperate Moura wolves prowl just beyond the doors, more sinister things are taking place within. And despite her revulsion towards the Maitre, Anne is irresistibly drawn to him, mesmerised by his unnatural powers. But she also finds herself falling in love with the dashing captain who comes to teach the girls, despite the fact that he is Tyra's lover.

In a wide-ranging survey, including plot summaries of hundreds of novels and short stories, the reader meets an amazing assortment of vampires from the pages of weird fiction, ranging from the 10,000-year-old femme fatale in Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Conqueror to the malevolent fetus in Eddy C. Bertin’s “Something Small, Something Hungry.” Nostalgia buffs will enjoy a discussion of the vampire yarns in the pulp magazines of the interwar years, while fans of contemporary vampire fiction will also be sated.

The late 1960s and early 1970s saw the birth of modern feminism, the sexual revolution, and strong growth in the mass-market publishing industry. Women made up a large part of the book market, and Gothic fiction became a higher popular staple. Victoria Holt, Mary Stewart and Phyllis Whitney emerged as prominent authors, while the standardized paperback Gothic sold in the millions. Pitched at middle-class women of all ages, Gothics paved the way for contemporary fiction categories such as urban fantasy, paranormal romance and vampire erotica. Though not as popular today as they once were, Gothic paperbacks retain a cult following--and the books themselves have become collectors' items. They were also the first popular novels to present strong heroines as agents of liberation and transformation. This work offers the missing chapters of the Gothic story, from the imaginative creations of Ann Radcliffe and the Bronte sisters to the bestseller 50 Shades of Grey.
