Isle of the Dead
“A grave's dank darkness smothers the screams of a girl still alive!”
On a Greek island during the 1912 war, several people are trapped by quarantine for the plague. If that isn't enough worry, one of the people—a superstitious old peasant—suspects a young woman of being a vampiric demon.
