The Genius of the Carpathians and Danube of Thought

The book KISS THE HAND YOU CANNOT BITE by Edward Behr is fascinating reading for those who appreciate black humor. The story of how Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu created one of the most grotesque political regimes in living memory is both repulsive and spellbinding--therefore a natural for the big screen biopic treatment. This story does not need fictional embellishment: if anything, it will require a bit of toning down, because the Romania of the Ceausescus is something so grand guignol, many will not believe it--and yet it was all true, as many living witnesses will attest. You want a real life Dracula story? Look no more: Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu were genuine living incarnations of Vlad Tepes and Elizabeth Bathory.
