Cult leader Anton
Lupeski asks Dracula for money to advance the Church of the Damned and the
Count writes him a list of his wealthy followers who would gladly obey any of
Dracula’s commands. Dracula then departs to be with his bride Domini—but as
soon as he arrives home, a bright light pulls him away from her and he
vanishes….
Blade and Hannibal King,
on the trail of Deacon Frost, come face-to-face with—not Frost but
Blade’s exact double, only a vampire. The two Blades fight and when they touch,
the two meld together, a process which goes on until there is only one Blade:
the vampire one. And now he’s stalking King….
In an elegant
mansion, containing a library holding an endless number of books, the elegant
Angie Turner converses with her old friend, the Frankenstein Monster, taking
him to meet another friend, D’Artagnan of the Musketeers, just two of many
fictitious characters given life by her secret powers. Tom Sawyer and Injun Joe
join them and she reveals the one friend she has never been able to conjure up,
the central character of the first book that was read to her: Count Dracula.
She tries again, suffering pain as she concentrates—and for the first time,
Dracula appears….

Harold H. Harold head to the home of Anton Lupeski and break in, searching for
the Satanist. They interrupt a ritual and Lupeski orders his followers to seize
them. Frank and Harold fight back and outside Rachel van Helsing arrives,
having secretly followed them….
Angie believes she
has conjured up the fictional Count Dracula and he is angry at having been
plucked from his wife’s side and brought to this place. Angie and her friends
are all confused that Dracula does not love her like they do and in fact he
knocks her down, calling her mad. D’Artagnan, Tom, Joe, and the monster are
joined by Robin Hood and Zorro is fighting Dracula, who is insulted that they
believe him to be merely a character in a book like them. He kills D’Artganan
with his own sword and Angie is convinced that this Dracula is evil, unlike the
nobleman in the novel so she throws he book into the fireplace—and Dracula
vanishes, only to reappear beside Domini….
At the asylum,
attendants hear Angie Turner scream, as she always does after reading Bram
Stoker’s novel. They leave her to her fantasy world, all she has since her
husband and child died. And so Angie is comforted by her friends, including the
resurrected D’Artagnan….
