Vampires—Imaginary and Real
“If ever there was in the world a warranted and proven history, it is that of vampires ... the judicial evidence is all-embracing.” -Jean Jacques Rousseau
In every age, in every land, the belief in vampires has persisted: The Ekimmu of ancient Assyria, the Civateteo of Mexico, the Langsuirs of Malaya, the Nosferat of Rumania. In this highly acclaimed study, Anthony Masters probes deeply into the roots of vampire legends —and the facts he unearths about vampirism, past and present, are as startling as the myths which grew out of them.
“A well-written, un-deadly conducted tour not only through graveyards and midnight but also through those infinitely more horrible swamps where in dwell human anomalies.” -Los Angeles Herald-Examiner
