Dracula. A name of horror, depravity and the darkest sensuality. Yet the real Dracula was just as alluring, just as terrifying, his story not of a monster but of a man - and a contradiction. For the one they called 'The Devil's Son' was both tyrant and lawgiver, crusader and mass slaughterer, torturer and hero, lover and murderer. His tale is told by those who knew him best. The only woman he ever loved, who he must sacrifice. His closest comrade and traitor.

On December 19th, 1851, a crime took place in the center of London. One of the few who knows what truly happened is Countess Alina Bronskaya. But she will never speak of it. The crime is her curse and her salvation.

Fresh from the collapse of his marriage, and with the criminal Jhereg organization out to eliminate him, Vlad decides to hide out among his relatives in faraway Fenario. All he knows about them is that their family name is Merss and that they live in a papermaking industrial town called Burz. At first Burz isn’t such a bad place, though the paper mill reeks to high heaven. But the longer he stays there, the stranger it becomes. No one will tell him where to find his relatives.

It is 1666, and Vlad the flea and his friend Boxton, the rat, love eating and biting their way around London. But one night in Pudding Lane, they are caught up in a fire that threatens to destroy them, along with most of the City of London.

Most of the vast audience attracted to the subject of Dracula know him only in his fictional, one-dimensional form: vampire. Yet the truth behind the historical character - voevode, warlord - of 15th C. Romania is at least as equally fascinating as any contrived account of his supernatural persona. Vlad Dracula faithfully follows his life story as hostage, fugitive, prince, and prisoner, as well as his legend.

Vlad the Drac is back in England, this time to star in his first movie. Paul and Judy persuade their father to let Vlad come to live with them - but it’s a decision they soon come to regret, for Vlad not only disrupts the whole film studio, but becomes monstrously big for his boots at home... A fabulous, funny adventure featuring the tiny vampire with big ideas, from bestselling author Ann Jungman.

The bulk of the audiobook will deal with what Vlad’s political career looked like, what wars he waged, and how his life eventually ended. But we’ll go one step beyond and cover some areas that historians don’t typically focus on. In addition to raw facts, we’ll also focus on what Vlad III’s character was, what drove him forward, and what his chief traits might have been.

Vlad III, known as Vlad the Impaler was voivode of Wallachia three times. The tales about the burning of the lazy, the poor, and the lame at Vlad's order and the execution of the woman who had made her husband too short a shirt can also be found among the German and Slavic anecdotes. Books describing Vlad's cruel acts were among the first best sellers in the German-speaking territories.

When Vlad hears about Paul and Judy's new baby sister he rushes to help. The family is plunged into chaos. To get him out of the house they send Vlad on a sightseeing tour of London - but the trouble he causes at home is nothing to what he manages in town!

Luckily the Stones are there to pick up the pieces: and before he goes home to Romania, Vlad finds a way to repay his friends in style.

When the Stone family take an Easter holiday in Romania, Judy and Paul are very bored - until they find a tiny vampire under a stone near Count Dracula’s castle. Not only is the vampire very small, he is also a vegetarian with dreams of starring in horror films.Vlad persuades Judy and Paul to smuggle him back to London and the children decide to keep him a secret in case he gets put in a museum or the zoo. But a vampire left on his own all day can get terribly bored and find all kinds of mischief to pass the time...

Vlad the Drac wants a holiday, and although there are lots of travel guides around, nothing seems very suitable for a vegetarian vampire.

New York, London, Paris - where would a nicely brought up vampire like to go for his holidays? Another hilarious adventure with Vlad the Drac, from bestselling author Ann Jungman.

Australia - isn’t that where everyone walks around upside down, drinking beer while kangaroos jump up and down on them? And there aren’t any vampires there, are there?

The pharaoh Tutankhamun has died suddenly, and the rush is on to prepare his tomb. Vlad the flea and Miu the cat supervise the artists as they paint wall murals. Will they finish in time, and will the friends escape before the tomb is sealed forever?

My Cousin Vlad sits down weekly to go down rabbit holes like Vladice In Wonderland, ponder life like Vladistotle and take Questions from Vladiators. The opening Weekly Wogologue takes turns from culture, family, friends, news and random thoughts.

In which Vlad Taltos and his Jhereg learn how the love of a good woman can turn a cold-blooded killer into a real mean SOB.... Vlad tells the story of his early days in the House Jhereg, how he found himself in a Jhereg war, and how he fell in love with the wonderful woman, Yendi, who killed him.

Vlad Taltos is on the run. Again. This time from one of the most powerful forces in his world, the Left Hand, who are intent on ending his very lucrative career. Permanently. He finds a hidey-hole in a theatre where the players are putting on a show that was banned centuries ago...and is trying to be shut down by the House that once literally killed to keep it from being played. Vlad will take on a number of roles to save his own skin. And the skins of those he loves. And along the way, he might find a part that was tailor-made for him. One that he might not want...but was always his destiny.

Vlad Taltos is very good at killing people. That, combined with two faithful companions and a talent for witchcraft, makes him an assassin par excellence. But lately his heart just hasn't been in his work, so he decides to retire. Unfortunately, old enemies have scores to settle with Vlad. So much for retirement!
