Strahd von Zarovich was once a warlord—flesh and blood, feared and revered. Now, he is a legend of dread, known as the Devil of Barovia.
In his own chilling memoirs, Strahd recounts his transformation from a power-hungry noble to an immortal vampire, cursed by dark magic and doomed by love. Tatyana, the woman who reignited his dying soul, also became the obsession that shattered it. To win her, Strahd betrayed blood—his own brother’s.
Now, centuries later, vampire hunter Dr. Rudolph Van Richten uncovers the truth. In this gothic tale of betrayal, desire, and damnation, Strahd’s dark confession reveals how a noble man became a monster.
But even monsters can love. And sometimes, that’s the most terrifying part of all.
Read if you dare—the shadows remember everything.
