The Dracula Deception: Madness, Mayhem & One Crazy Vampire

FIVE STARS The most fun I have ever had reading "The Dracula Deception" was a fantastic surprise. Funnier and more thrilling than expected. (Review by Steven Daniel)

Adapted and updated from the hit stage comedy of the same title. (The print version includes photos from one of the original productions.)

The setting: The Transylvania Institute for the Terminally Insane (TITI; pronounced "Tie-Tie"), where patients are not treated to be cured, but are allowed to live out their delusions in relative comfort in a supportive environment.

The plot: A down-on-his-luck actor's audition for a role to support one particularly peculiar patient plunges him into a nightmarish maelstrom of madness and mayhem.

The characters: A manic mix of patients and staff catapults the roller-coaster plot to its shocking, heart-stopping finale.
