CHAPTER EIGHT
Count Dracula paced the dark, quiet decks of the Titanic and focused, frantically casting his mind’s eye out over the black, crashing sea. The Rockford was several days back, a small steamer upon which Dracula had several crates of soil. The Carpathia, The California, and The Olympic, Titanic’s sister ship, were all close by.
