George Romero - Martin (Futura, 1978)
Martin was young and good-looking, a shy boy, perhaps even a little backward. But Martin had a secret, one he couldn’t share.
His uncle knew the family had brought the poison with them from the Old Country. He was waiting for the day he could destroy Martin and Martin’s evil.
Others knew - a woman Martin had met on a train, a woman he’d followed from the supermarket. But they were dead …
A chilling story of an ancient evil unleashed on a modern city.

[Robert Kaufman] - Love At First Bite (Fotonovel Publications, 1979)
After 700 years of one-bite stands, Transylvania’s Count Dracula travels to modern-day New York City, lock, stock and coffin, to win the woman he loves - America’s favourite glamour girl, Cindy Sondheim - a whirlwind romance that bakes the Big Apple!
What abomination is this? Something for those who find Piranha too challenging?
I’ve credited authorship to Robert Kaufman as he wrote the screenplay and “every scene is recreated with vivid full-color pictures right out of the film. Complete dialogue too!”

Paul Monette - Nosferatu, the Vampyre (Picador, 1979)
Based on the screenplay by Werner Herzog.
Nosferatu … The Undead … Count Dracula … a name that will always whisper of the unspeakable, of sensuous evil, of the pinnacle of the sado-erotic, of death that travels on silken batwings.
A lonely, wraith-like figure, doomed to wander forever in the realm of twilight in search of the alluring and lovely woman, whose destiny is to defeat him only by submission … the giving of herself from the dusk until dawn.
Nosferatu - the name under which the vampire myth first reached the screen - is now recreated by Werner Herzog as a sensual and haunting masterpiece of cinema. Eighty years after Bran Stoker’s Dracula, Paul Monette’s outstanding novel once more breathes life into the ultimate myth of evil …
