First published in 2005. The dark but endlessly fascinating and enduring tradition of the Vampire is here focused on Europe, particularly in ancient Greece and Rome, England and Ireland, Hungry and former Czecho-Slovakia, Russia, Romania and Bulgaria. Our forefathers, back to ancient times, were just as obsessed with the vampire as we continue to be. Written by the acknowledged and recognized expert in the field, who’s also author of the History of Witchcraft and a previous book on vampires entitled The Vampire: His Kith and Kin, as well as many other books on demonology. This book will satisfy even the most demanding enthusiast.
