Publisher's Synopsis
A young American visits Communist Transylvania during the closing years of the Cold War, discovering that Communism is vampirism, and a man is better dead than undead. "Combines political dystopia, horror, espionage thriller, black comedy, even a Boy Meets Girl story...with real substance. Worth a look." -- Prometheus, June 2000 "Reads as if written by Orwell, Stoker, Kafka, and Swift sipping spiked martinis over at King's place. Masterful and distinct." -- Inner Sanctum, March 2001 "A fast-paced satire, dark and bloody, strange, flawed, interesting, 'politically incorrect, ' destined to be ignored by the mainstream media." -- Science Fiction Chronicle, May 2001 "A libertarian perspective inspired by Ayn Rand, Ronald Reagan's witticims, and a quirky sense of humor. A welcome relief." -- Nuketown.com, January 2001 "A riveting, unique, superbly written horror novel, very highly recommended for all fans of the vampire genre." -- Internet Bookwatch, May 2001 "A satiric horror fable about life in Communist Romania...with Sipos's own personal (and sometimes ornery) twist." -- Insight, August 7, 2000 "Gruesomely hammers home the real evil of Communism...a brilliantly evocative image and a powerful, original metaphor for Communism." -- American Outlook, Winter 2002 "One part Rambo, one part Blade and one part Catherine Zeta Jones...might make for a very successful video game." -- The Eagle, September 5, 2000 "Sipos mainly adheres to [historical] reality, giving Vampire Nation depth and giving the subgenre of vampire fiction a worthy addition." -- Necropsy, Spring 2001
