Nosferatu from Meshbox Design is based on Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau's classic silent film Nosferatu, the Vampire. Played by Max Schreck, Nosferatu was Murnau's take on the Brom Stoker's Dracula. At the time, the Stoker Estate had control of the Dracula intellectual property and Murnau was not able to acquire the rights to make his film based directly on the book. Unlike the sophisticated aristocrat of the Universal Studios Dracula or the sexually charged Hammer Films rendition, the original Nosferatu was more of a monster - more akin to the bat and rat than to man.

Typical of Wilhelm's recent work ( Huysman's Pets ), this SF story takes the form of a mystery novel whose solution is, in human terms, unknowable. A malfunctioning alien space probe flickers in and out of existence from another dimension. All that Earthly eyes can see is a bizarre patterns: random outbreaks of madness and murder that occur in old, closed-up, wood-frame hotels. The loss of his wife and son compels Carson Danvers to go a monomaniacal crusade, burning down each of these host buildings, in hopes of ending the local manifestations.
