The idea that undead beings return to feast upon the living has fascinated
cultures and generations for centuries, with different parts of the world
sharing their own unique tales of folklore, and with theories evolving as
science and medicine have advanced. The characteristics of vampires have
always differed from country to country, as well as how they are created,
how they are identified, and how ordinary folk can protect themselves
against vampires and even destroy them – should they be brave enough.
In History of Vampires, uncover the remarkable origins of vampiric beliefs,
and examine traditions from around the world, from gruesome tales of
blood-drinking Romanian vampires to the Filipino creature that feasts on
unborn children. Meet ‘real-life’ vampires, such as Vlad the Impaler and
Elizabeth Báthory, and learn about cases from the 19th-century
New England Vampire Panic, as well as 20th-century killers. We also
explore how the vampires of popular culture contrast to those of folklore
and analyse the influences and inspirations in literature and on screen.
With all this and much more to sink your teeth into, this is the ultimate
companion for anyone with a thirst for vampire knowledge.
