Selección Terror: Estirpe de Vampiros

# Clark Carrados: Estirpe de Vampiros

This Spanish-language horror serial, number 497 in Editorial Bruguera's Colección Seleccion Terror, follows Egbert Spencer, an English traveler en route to Schwarzstein castle in the German village of Hóffenburgh. Arriving during fog and drizzle, he witnesses a public vampire execution: townspeople led by a tall, pale man named Weissen drive a stake through a white-shrouded female vampire in her coffin, producing screams and blue vapor. The village priest, Father Franz, protests the ceremony as devil-worship; moments later, Spencer finds the priest dead below the church bell tower, though no one had been ringing the bells. Spencer abandons his journey and recounts these events to his uncle, Professor Daniel Vinceton, seeking rational explanation for the impossible occurrences—particularly the mysteriously self-ringing bell and the priest's unexplained death.
