Renfield: Origins of Madness

By: Chris McAuley

Before Dracula made him a servant, R. M. Renfield was already a man being consumed from within.

A damaged lawyer carrying the scars of Catholic guilt, paternal cruelty, shame, and forbidden desire, Renfield spent his life searching for something to silence the hunger inside him.

Then he meets Count Dracula, who offers no salvation.

The vampire sees Renfield's wounds, understands his deepest appetites, and knows exactly how to use them...

What begins as fascination becomes dependence, obedience, and finally enslavement as Renfield is drawn into a world where blood, pleasure, blasphemy, violence, and devotion become impossible to separate. His is a story of hunger in all its forms: sexual, spiritual, emotional, and monstrous. A hunger for power. For approval. For punishment. For release. But every desire has its price.

Violent, explicit, psychologically intense, and deeply Gothic, Renfield: Origins of Madness explores the corruption behind one of Dracula's most infamous servants, revealing the tragic man beneath the madness and the predator who taught him to mistake obedience for virtue, suffering for purity... and damnation of his eternal soul for freedom.
