The Universal Vampire: Origins and Evolution of a Legend - Paperback
by Barbara Brodman (Editor), James E. Doan (Editor)
This book presents the vampire as a truly international phenomenon, not restricted to the original folk character, the literary vampire (such as Dracula), or 20th and 21st-century film versions. Instead, we find examples of vampires from literally around the world: each culture and age reshaping the legend in its own image and even seeking psychological and scientific explanations to explain the phenomenon.
