Red Death

"Give me liberty or give me undeath!" A young upstart, Jonathan Barrett is sent to London in 1773 for his college education. There he meets Nora Jones, an unearthly beauty whose lovemaking talents entrance him - even as she drinks his blood during their nightly trysts... Forced by impending war to return to America, Jonathan stands ready to spill his blood for his country. But Nora's kiss has left him craving the blood of others - for all time.
