书籍简介

本书出自畅销书《黑暗女王》的作者之手，是一部炽热的纪实犯罪与女性主义历史作品，讲述了据称是世界上杀人较多的女连环杀手的故事。

长久以来，城堡里、村庄广场上、幽暗的森林里都流传着关于她的窃窃私语。这位出身欧洲古老家族之一的伯爵夫人，竟是一位残暴的杀手。甚至有人说她用受害者的鲜血沐浴。当国王的卫兵强行闯入她的庄园时，她双手沾满鲜血，正残忍地杀害着她的一名女仆。她被囚禁在一座塔楼里，从此杳无音讯，只有在塔楼高处的铁窗后，她才会出现，俯瞰着这片土地，诅咒着所有胆敢反对她的人。

血腥伯爵夫人的传说被翻译成多种语言，在世界各地的文化想象中流传至今。尽管有说法称伊丽莎白·巴托里折磨并杀害了多达650名女孩，但有人质疑，这位伯爵夫人本身是否也是受害者——历史上成功的虚假信息宣传活动之一的受害者。那么，伊丽莎白·巴托里究竟是恶魔、受害者，还是两者兼而有之？谢莉·普哈克以悬疑小说般的紧张笔触，运用新的档案证据，质疑旧有的假设，追溯了伯爵夫人的垮台，生动地展现了一位在滑向反科学、反动黑暗的世界中，身处一个表象与真相截然不同的世界的强势女性领袖。在这部引人入胜的叙事作品中，普哈克描绘了历史上危险的女性及其动荡时代的鲜活形象，揭示了我们为了摧毁一位掌权的女性究竟会走多远。

From the author of the national bestseller The Dark Queens, an incandescent work of true crime and feminist history about the woman alleged to be the world's most prolific female serial killer.

There have long been whispers, coming from the castle; from the village square; from the dark woods. The great lady-a countess, from one of Europe's oldest families-is a vicious killer. Some even say she bathes in the blood of her victims. When the king's men force their way into her manor house, she has blood on her hands, caught in the act of murdering yet another of her maids. She is walled up in a tower and never seen again, except in the uppermost barred window, where she broods over the countryside, cursing all those who dared speak up against her.

Told and retold in many languages, the legend of the Blood Countess has consumed cultural imaginations around the world. But despite claims that Elizabeth Bathory tortured and killed as many as 650 girls, some have wondered if the Countess was herself a victim- of one of the most successful disinformation campaigns known to history. So, was Elizabeth Bathory a monster, a victim, or a bit of both? With the breathlessness of a whodunit, drawing upon new archival evidence and questioning old assumptions, Shelley Puhak traces the Countess's downfall, bringing to life an assertive woman leader in a world sliding into anti-scientific, reactionary darkness-a world where nothing is ever as it seems. In this exhilarating narrative, Puhak renders a vivid portrait of history's most dangerous woman and her tumultuous time, revealing just how far we will go to destroy a woman in power.
