Teaser Tuesdays (13): Dracula's Guest

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme that was started by MizB from Should Be Reading.

If you would like to participate in Teaser Tuesday, all you have to do is take the book that you are currently reading and open it to any page. Then you choose any two (2) sentences from that page to share with the rest of us!

This week’s teaser comes from page 93 of Dracula’s Guest: A Connoisseur’s Collection of Victorian Vampire Stories edited by Michael Sims. (The individual story is Wake Not the Dead attributed to Johann Ludwig Tieck.)

“Know then,” continued the Sorcerer, “that only on the night of the new moon, does she sleep the sleep of mortals; and then all the supernatural power which she inherits from the grave totally fails her. ‘Tis then that thou must murder her.”
