About this product
Product Information
Vlad: The Last Confession is a novel about the real man behind the Bram Stoker myth. It tells of the Prince, the warrior, the lover, the torturer, the survivor and, ultimately, the hero. Dracula. A name of horror, depravity and the darkest sensuality. Yet the real Dracula was just as alluring, just as terrifying, his tale not one of a monster but of a man...and a contradiction. His tale is told by those who knew him best. The only woman he ever loved...and whom he has to sacrifice. His closest comrade... and traitor. And his priest, betraying the secrets of the confessional to reveal the mind of the man history would forever remember as The Impaler. This is the story of the man behind the legend ... as it has never been told before. "Trust nothing that you've heard." Winter 1431, a son is born to the Prince of Transylvania. His father christened him "Vlad." His people knew him as "The Dragon's Son." His enemies reviled him as "Tepes"--The Impaler. He became the hero of a nation. We know him as Dracula.

Reviews
"Humphreys writes in a compelling way that brings the character and time to life and even though you want to turn away you also want to know more." - Broken Teepee, "C.C. Humphreys has done an excellent job with opening the Western world's eyes to the hero that Vlad was. This is done through highly researched prose, full of great characters but also through further appendices which provide even more information on Vlad Tepes. " -- Read All Over Reviews, "An incredible story has been woven around the true facts that exist about the frightening but enigmatic leader of Wallachia and the climactic ending is superb." - Game Vortex, "I have got to hand it to author C.C. Humphreys on " Vlad : The Last Confession" he ultimately succeeded in humanizing one of history's darkest rulers of all time: Vlad the Impaler...this novel really appeals to a different side of Vlad I never knew existed." - Historically Obsessed, "This was a very fascinating read about the life and times of a mad and compelling man. I was sucked into the story and now I want to learn more about Vlad and his younger brother Radu: The Handsome." -- Paranormal & Romantic Suspense Reviews, "An unapologetic tale about a man who endured great losses and was driven by intense passion for his country and religion...the novel is aimed much more at readers interested in the historical origins of the Dracula stories than at those looking for another vampire story. As such, it succeeds admirably." -- Booklist, "A rollicking, bloody, surprising novel of the fifteenth century which, in effect, reinvents Dracula as himself: a driven, vengeful, God-fearing human being." - Author Magazine, "This historical and fictional account of the historical 15th century warlord known as " Vlad The Impaler" imagines the man's life through a dialogue-rich narrative that involves Crusaders, castles, Turks and love. The Vlad in Humphreys narrative is very human and shaped by the political climate of his time. And this book never once mentions vampires." - Delaware County News Network, "While Vlad 's brutal acts might have inspired the name of Bram Stoker's fictional vampire, the historical man has nothing to do with that classic novel. His real story is engrossing. " -- Library Journal, "A rollicking, bloody, surprising novel of the fifteenth century which, in effect, reinvents Dracula as himself: a driven, vengeful, God-fearing human being." -- Author Magazine, "'Vlad' is a must for any fan of historical fiction, or those who want another view on the legend of Dracula." - Midwest Book Review, "While Vlad 's brutal acts might have inspired the name of Bram Stoker's fictional vampire, the historical man has nothing to do with that classic novel. His real story is engrossing. " - Library Journal, "I have got to hand it to author C.C. Humphreys on " Vlad : The Last Confession" he ultimately succeeded in humanizing one of history's darkest rulers of all time: Vlad the Impaler...this novel really appeals to a different side of Vlad I never knew existed." -- Historically Obsessed, "It was a fascinating tale about who the real Dracula was. Rich in historical drama and bloody madness." - Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell, "A novel that sets out to humanize and demythologize Vlad the Impaler...though he's still very naughty." - Kirkus Reviews, "C.C. Humphreys does a fantastic job of bringing Vlad to life. Readers have a lot of preconceived notions where Dracula is concerned and Humphreys pretty much throws all that out and starts over. I loved the way he was able to show Vlad as something more than the monster readers are familiar with." - Debbie's Book Bag, "It makes you think harder about what it good, what is evil, and what happens when the two collide and combine within the soul. I love this book. One of the best historical fiction novels I've read. It gets my highest rating and a strong recommendation." -- The Biblio Blogazine, " Vlad : The Last Confession was an interesting and engaging look at the life of Vlad Dracula and how history is shaped by political needs. " -- Devourer of Books, "What makes a man commit acts of evil? Should this man be forgiven if his motivations were just? All of these questions are posed in the novel, but the answers are left up to the reader. Vlad : The Last Confession by C.C. Humphreys is part history, part epic adventure -- an engrossing novel that will surely have you reconsidering other "villains" of the past." - Savvy Verse & Wit, "Hard to put down and impossible to forget...It is a book you can emotionally lose yourself in and let yourself roam deep into the words of the story." - Suite 101 World Literature, "'Vlad' is a must for any fan of historical fiction, or those who want another view on the legend of Dracula." -- Midwest Book Review, "C.C. Humphreys does a fantastic job of bringing Vlad to life. Readers have a lot of preconceived notions where Dracula is concerned and Humphreys pretty much throws all that out and starts over.

Item was better than described in my opinion and it did come in a bubble mailer. The package came in a timely manner, and the seller was pretty communicative by sending email after payment asking for confirmation of the address and stating when they will most likely send my item during the week. Overall, great seller, would come again if give the chance to. If you have a chance to do business with them, please do! And thank you goodwill_colorado_springs for my MLP DVD!
