"The Jerusalem Vampire" updates and transposes the vampire legend to modern Israel in the 1970's. We find presented here an oral history of the event evolving during wartime. There is a large cast of minor characters, but the major ones are: Count Culandra (Dracula), Professor Hohveh, the Pope, and Golda Meir. From invasion to defeat, the essential battle is good-versus-evil, and theology-versus-ideology. The Hollywood approach may sometimes be evident, but the folklore and history of the paranormal type event are paramount. There will probably never be another literary effort comparable to "The Jerusalem Vampire". Give it a long midnight read. Good luck.
