WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE:

INVADERS AND DEFILERS


Three years ago, three Great Vampires - two Lords and a 'Lady' of the Wamphyri, the alien
originators of the alleged vampire 'myths' or 'legends' of Earth - entered our world via a trans -
dimensional Gate under the Carpathian mountains. Having split up following their covert
'invasion,' the trio went their own ways. Lord Nephran Malinari ('Malinari the Mind'), enthralled
an Australian billionaire to set himself up in a casino aerie in the exclusive resort of Xanadu in
the Macpherson Mountains. Lord Szwart, a metamorphic 'fly-the-light' in the truest sense of the
term, headed for London, settling in a forgotten Roman 'temple' in the deepest, most inaccessible
bowels of the city. And Vavara -'beautiful' mistress of mass-hypnotism - defiled an order of nuns
by infiltrating their fortress-like monastery on the Greek island of Krassos.
