PETER STEELE

In 1666, warlock Ivan Vaylox's reign as leader of a cult of devil worshippers comes to a sudden end when he is burned at the stake for his barberous crimes of human sacrifice. In Hell, he makes a deal with the Devil and is returned to earth in the form of a vampire. From this moment on, it is Ivan's task to perform a series of occult rituals involving human sacrifice and cannibalism which, when completed, will open the portals of Hell allowing the Devil and his demonic hoards to rise-up onto the face of the earth and conquer mankind.

This is an excellant vampire tale which delivers thrills and chills from start to finish. Ivan Vaylox makes other more better known vampires look like choir boys! In his reign of terror which lasts for several centuries, he slaughters, drains, mutilates and eats hundreds of innocent victims while pursuing his quest to unlock the gates of Hell and release the Devil from his prison!
