Vlad the Impaler: Son of Dracul

About this ebook

Many will assume this is just another retelling of the "Dracula" horror myth... but Vlad's story is true. Hitler's Holocaust killed approximately 10% of Germany's people, while some estimates claim that Vlad exterminated more than 20% of his fellow Wallachians. A gruesome genre-bender with perverse humor, based on 15th-century history. Warning: graphic transgressive violence.

    INT. MEHMET'S BEDROOM - CRISP SPRING DAY IN 1447

    VLAD, a wiry young lad of 15, leans out an open window, peering at something with intense interest. SHOUTS come from the courtyard below.

    RADU, an 11-year-old boy, reclines on the bed, watching MEHMET, an effeminate boy/man just slightly younger than Vlad. Mehmet demonstrates with a rag doll and pointed stick:

    MEHMET: You see, dear Radu, my men dig a verrrry deep hole, and plant the stake upright, like this. Then the prisoner is dropped onto it.

    When he releases the rag doll from his extended arm, the sharp stick pierces its side. Vlad turns around, outraged.

    VLAD: You really enjoy experimenting with new methods of torture in front of us, don't you, Mehmet?

    Mehmet pulls the doll off the stick, and jams the sharpened end into its chest.

    MEHMET (ignores Vlad): Sometimes, my sweet Radu, I suspect the condemned man will try a fancy gymnastic move, by twisting around like this, so the stake enters his heart.

    Vlad crosses the room, grabs the doll and removes the stick.

    MEHMET (continuing): But I guess your brother prefers the old side-skewer.

    VLAD: We all know which way you like it, Mehmet.

    Vlad inserts the stick into the doll's backside, roughly forcing it all the way up through the body and out of the mouth. He throws the impaled doll at Mehmet, who deflects it, smiling.

    VLAD (continuing): Come on Radu, let's get out of here.

    RADU: I... I don't know, Vlad.

    Suddenly, a piercing SCREAM comes from the courtyard. Radu runs to the window, followed by Mehmet, who wraps his arms around the younger boy from behind. Radu grinds his butt into Mehmet's crotch, and they both LAUGH. After a few moments, Mehmet turns back toward Vlad, gloating:

    MEHMET: It seems your brother would prefer to spend his time with the future Sultan of the Ottoman Empire.

    Disgusted, Vlad strides out the door and SLAMS it behind him.

    INT. VISEGRÁD PRISON - AFTERNOON, 16 YEARS LATER

    Two guards, CSOMBOR and BULCSU, sit at a small table in the dismal prison hallway and play cards to pass the time. Occasional SQUEALS and CHIRPS come from the cell a few yards away.

    CSOMBOR: That Wallachian devil is up to his old tricks. He just can't help himself.

    BULCSU: What do you mean?

    CSOMBOR: Come and see.

    They abandon their cards, and walk toward the cell. Along
