night. We then took the Orient Express and arrived in Varna at about 5pm. I am happy to

insisted on coming with us. She is sure that her telepathic connection to Dracula will help us
on our mission.

was a shocking story indeed, but the most disturbing part was when I realised that Dracula's
residence, Carfax, is situated right next to the asylum, and next to my own home!

been disappearing from Hampstead Heath, a park near the cemetery where Lucy was buried.
The missing children have all been found with tiny wounds on their necks and they claim that
a strange, pale woman lured them away. This is a very worrying development indeed.
