Publisher's Synopsis
Van Helsing was not so different from the other medical students at the university: quick-witted, and equally adept with sword or scalpel. Like the other lads, he was occasionally called upon to do a bit of body snatching to provide subjects for dissection in anatomy class...until one night, when one of the corpses was not as dead as it should have been. A chance encounter with a girl named Carmilla Karnstein and her aunt, Countess Elizabeth Bathory, would soon draw Van Helsing into a world beyond darkness and death.
