The Vampire Affair by David McDaniel (G)
Fandom: MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Gen
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: none
When I was a teen and Man From U.N.C.L.E. was originally broadcast, I bought the "tie-in" paperback books at the grocery store. I read the books so many times that I memorized them. The paperback stories were very innocent, but exciting to a young teenage girl like me.
When my daughters grew old enough they also read all the paperbacks and watched the rebroadcasts of the series. Now one of my daughters tapes the show on Amerilife Cable for me. Lately I've been walking down memory lane as my "baby" is turning 21 and my eldest is getting married. So I thought I'd do something a little different in this recommendation and point people to a website that has copied some of the paperbacks so that you can read the stories on-line. (And save the 50 cents a book it cost me.[grin])
One of my favorite stories was "The Vampire Affair" because of its humor and adventure.
From the Back Cover
The body had been drained of blood . . . .
In a remote area of the Transylvanian Alps, an U.N.C.L.E. agent had been killed in mysterious circumstances. The man's footprints in the snow led up to the base of the tree where he had been killed, but there were no pursuing tracks, no clues at all as to what doom had overtaken him.
There were only the two small holes in the neck, and a complete absence of blood.
Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin didn't believe in vampires — but as they investigated their fellow-agent's death they were forced again and again to wonder if perhaps the old terrors of the region had more reality than the world would like to think.
