Vlad
Fuentes, Carlos (1928-2012)
Vlad / Carlos Fuentes ; translated by E. Shaskan Bumas and Alejandro Branger. - 1st ed. - Champaign, Ill. : Dalkey Archive Press , 2012. - 122 p. ; 19 cm.
Attorney Yves Navarro is ordered by his boss to find a home for his longtime Eastern European friend Vladimir Radu who is moving to Mexico City. The task is simplified somewhat because Yves's wife is a realtor who doesn't question the odd requirements for the house: blacked-out windows, drains in all the floors, and a tunnel connected to a ravine. One evening after having dined at the mansion, Yves is drugged and trapped inside but manages to escape through the tunnel which, to his surprise, is lined with coffins, in one of which reposes Vladimir. Realizing that Vlad is a vampire, Yves tries to extricate himself and his family who have also become implicated in Vlad's nefarious scheme. From there the novella rushes to a sudden but ambiguous denouement.
