  == Further reading ==  For clarity and order (appearance) I have divided the list of further reading into English, German, Hungarian, and Slovak texts that are fairly recent and not too difficult to obtain.  I have also alphabetized these texts by author.  The previous listing of further readings was a bit jumbled together.  I must mention that a couple of the texts are actually fictitious accounts of Elizabeth Báthory and should not be viewed as being historical biographies, e.g. Bathory Al Babel, and Andrei Codrescu.  Perhaps these two books should be removed and tranferred to the article on Elizabeth Báthory in popular culture?  The inclusion of additional Hungarian and Slovak texts, though not accessible to most in English, gives the list of sources greater depth and scope since Elizabeth Báthory was a Hungarian who spent much of her life in what is now Slovakia.  Therefore, inclusion of references from those two cultures/countiries is relevant.
