Hotel Transylvania
It is the year 1743. A stranger has come to Paris. One who has impeccable manners, expensive clothing, and a considerable presence. But Le Comte de Saint-Germain is not like most men: he is a vampire. For several thousand years, Saint-Germain has longed to find someone who could love him wholly, despite his true nature. When Saint-Germain meets Madelaine de Montalia, he feels he might have a chance for happiness. But an evil force threatens Madelaine's life and it is up Saint-Germain to save the woman he loves.
First published in 1978, Hotel Transylvania is the novel that introduces Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's popular vampire, Saint-Germain.
