The official synopsis -
A new novelisation of Twins Of Evil by Shaun Hutson. With a new foreword by John Hough.
Karnstein Castle stands like a bird of prey on the highest point of the hills that surround the village below. A huge monolithic reminder to all those who see it of the power of the family who have lived there for centuries.
By day the village of Karnstein is a peaceful place, but by night, an unimaginable evil roams free. Villagers are found dead, their throats ripped open and bodies drained of blood. Young girls disappear and are never seen again. Rumour has it that they are taken to the castle for the pleasure of Count Karnstein, the last surviving member of the family.
Into this strange place, come beautiful identical twins Maria and Frieda. While Maria lives a blameless life, Frieda is drawn to the castle and Count Karnstein. A man rarely seen in daylight, a man steeped in Satanic ritual and the blood of beautiful young girls.
Before long Frieda and Karnstein unleash a reign of bloody terror on the villagers, and no one, it seems, is strong enough to stop them. | Good spot Demdike - I had no idea about this! Needless to say I've got my grubby mitts on a copy and am reading it at the mo'. Excellent stuff.
Apparently the same publishers are bringing out a series of novelisations of old and new Hammer, including Wake Wood, Captain Kronos and The Witches.
