«La doncella de hielo» is the horror and humour novel by Marc Behm, published by Círculo de Lectores in 1989, in hardback (223 pages, in Spanish).
The action follows Cora, a vampire who works as a waitress in a casino; Brand, one of the oldest vampires, who introduced vampirism to America and now lives hidden and depressed in a sewer; and Tony, the venue's pianist. The three plot a very earthly crime in a novel that mixes horror with black humour.
Translation by Jorge Lorbar. Work originally published in English as 'The Iced Maiden' in 1982; Spanish edition of 1989.
For readers looking for vampire stories with humour and irony, far from classic horror.
