Publisher's summary

Do you know the story of the Countess? Were you fascinated by Lady Gaga's recent depiction of Elizabeth Bathory in American Horror Story? Would you like to know more about this controversial historical figure?

If so, Countess Elizabeth Bathory: The Life and Legacy of History's Most Prolific Female Serial Killer is the book for you. It explains the life and times of this powerful woman - and how she came to be accused of so many heinous crimes. You'll gain access to a variety of historical versions, perspectives, and accounts of her life - some of which paint her as a villain - and others as a victim!

Was Elizabeth a victim of her family's abuse - and her husband? Can her foul acts be explained by the horrors she witnessed as a girl and experienced as a teenager?

No one can say for sure which tales are true and which were fabricated by her political opponents. Perhaps later storytellers have embellished this horrifying tale - which is still popular today! Download this book and decide for yourself!

The Blood Countess

This is a satisfactory introduction to the history surrounding Elizabeth Bathory, including some of the arguments historians have about her and her place in popular culture. The book is not particularly well-written and is full of repetition... not a good sign in so short a book. The narration is very good.

this would have easily been 5 stars but...

would it have been so difficult to take the time to pronounce the names of everyone in their original language? it seems a disservice to the culture and people of Hungary to render all these names in English.

Terrible, all heresy no fact at all. “It was said” is not a story.

All was “it was said” I thought this was going to be history loosely based on truth. It’s fiction.
