A Fairy Tale for Adults

Stefan and Valerie are newlyweds on their honeymoon who whilst returning to England stay at a hotel in Ostend. Soon after, the Countess Elisabeth Bathory and her companion, Ilona Harczy, arrive there. The newcomers show an abnormal interest in the young couple. It transpires that the Countess had been in the same hotel some forty years previously, and she has not altered since that time. She and her companion are careful to avoid leaving the hotel during the day.

The honeymoon couples find themselves mysteriously drawn to the two strange women and soon discover the dark and terrible secret that they hide.
