YMMV / A Love Like Blood

• Complete Monster: Lord Karkossa is the king of all the vampires in the world, as well as their progenitor. Under his rule, humans are herded into People Farms for himself and the other vampires to feed on, children not excluded. During a feast to celebrate his trueborn son Jacques's induction into his army, his followers massacre untold numbers of people to create a "carpet" of blood for him to walk on as he arrives, are devoured for dinner, or hung from meat hooks on the ceiling for decoration. In laboratoria around the world his scientists experiment on humans to create deadly new diseases, such as a hemorrhagic fever that causes them to bleed out from every orifice within minutes. When Jacques falls in love with a female werewolf and rebels against his father, Karkossa orders them both killed along with their unborn child as abominations. While heavily pregnant, she's ripped apart by Karkossa's Bathori progeny in front of Jacques, who pledges to destroy his father. When confronted as he's bathing in the blood and body parts of the human cattle his servants bring him wherever he goes, he fights his son to the death with no remorse. A batlike beast with an endless thirst for blood, Karkossa is more monster than man.
