Book Reviews of Bathory: Memoir of a Countess
Book Review: A Bit Perverted....
Summary: 3 Stars
This novel is certainly not for the easily offended or faint of heart. The murder scenes are gorey and violent and the sex is rather perverted.. and there is a lot of it. I think there was more sex than murder which says a lot considering the Countess of Bathory supposedly murdered 600 or more people. This novel begins with her as a young girl (I am unsure of age as she is sleeping on her nanny's bossum one moment and the next she is losing her virginity) and all around her there is violence. Her father, mother, brother, everybody except servants is killing, raping, or torturing someone. Even as a young girl, the Countess seems to enjoy it tho. She marries and graduates into the same vile behavior. However, she begins to murder "noble" girls instead of just servant girls, leading to her eventual imprisonment. She had an obsession with growing old and was jealous of young girls and if this book is to believed, she had an extensive and varied sexual appetite. If you want blood and gore and sex, go for it. If I may make a recommendation tho, for those that want gothic horror, I suggest Anne Rice's Beauty books. They have nothing to do with Countess of Bathory but the sex is more tasteful and the violence is not so sickening.
