Hello and welcome back to Betwixa Sheets History of Sex Scandal and Society with me, Kate Lister. voice-verified

Given that we are now streaming a little mini-series on history's deadliest women, it made sense that somebody who's known in the history books as the Blood Countess, the most infamous serial killer of all time, would be included. voice-verified

The stories about this 16th century countess include some really shocking details, like that she killed over 600 victims, many of them young girls, even children, that she bathed in their voice-verified

Blood, that she was a sadist, that she loved torturing the weak and the innocent, and was only stopped because she made the mistake of picking on rich victims. voice-verified

But was she as deadly as they say, or is the whole thing a setup? voice-verified

Joining me today to tell us more about this extraordinary case of this fascinating woman is the fabulous, the wonderful author and historian Shelly Poohack to help us get to the bottom of all of this. voice-verified

So without further ado, everyone, let's crack on. voice-verified

Well, hello and welcome to Betwixt the Sheets. voice-verified

It's only Shelly Pahack. voice-verified

How are you doing? voice-verified

I'm well, how are you? voice-verified

Oh, I'm so relieved that you are here. voice-verified

And I'm so relieved that you've written this book, The Blood Countess: Murder, Betrayal, and the Making of a Monster, about Bop, Countess Elizabeth Bathory, about bloody time. voice-verified

We'll get into exactly who she is. voice-verified
