    However, I believe that the biography is a little too short to give an entire background or insight to the Countesses life. It’s okay for a VERY short read, though.
  • I want to know more!!!

    Rather short - very interesting topic, I would’ve loved to know more about it! Reads more like an essay for a college course than a book but is very good!!!

    I wanted to learn about Elizabeth Bathory because of a horror movie called Stay Alive that was based off of a video game that was the story of Elizabeth Bathory. If you died in the game, the Blood Countess would kill you the exact same way as you died in the game. First you had to say these exact words: Come to me clouds May you rise your evil soul as an evil storm Born to rip them open Let the cover of night Bear witness and destroy Who shall resist so they Shall harm me not Let the blood of many Cleanse me, Preserving Beauty Eternal I pray you.
  • It was free, so why not?

    Not really a book, more a high school term paper.

    Very short only 14 pages long. It's concise and to the point. I think this story of the most prolific female serial killer is interesting and only wish there was more information to make a longer book. Perhaps there is more info and longer biographies on Elizabeth Bathory?
  • Seriously?

    This was a joke. It's a 9-page essay written by an 8th grader.
  • Interesting

    The topic was interesting but the writing is in the style of a casual school essay. It's merely a bit of simple, straightforward history of Elizabeth Bathory and not to be confused with The Bloody Countess: Atrocities of Erzsebet Bathory by Valentine Penrose. It Doesn't Give Anything More Than What You Can Find On Wikipedia.
