<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"Throughout the whole vast shadowy world of ghosts and demons there is no figure so terrible, no figure so dreaded and abhorred, yet [looked upon] with such fearful fascination, as the vampire, who is himself neither ghost nor demon, but yet who partakes the dark natures and possesses the mysterious and terrible qualities of both."<br>So begins this riveting study by one of the foremost authorities on witchcraft and occult phenomena. An indefatigable researcher, Summers explores the presence of vampires in Greek and Roman lore, in England and Ireland during Anglo-Saxon times, in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Russia, Romania, and Bulgaria, even in modern Greece. More than just a collection of library lore, however, this detailed examination of the history of vampirism in Europe also includes anecdotes and firsthand accounts gathered by the author from peasants in places where belief in vampires was still common.<br>A fascinating, sometimes terrifying book, <i>The Vampire in Lore and Legend</i> is a "mine of out-of-the-way information full of unspeakable tales," writes <i>The New York Times</i>; and according to <i>Outlook</i>, "a fascinating inquiry into the vampire legend . . . a storehouse of curious and interesting lore." Of great interest to any enthusiast of the supernatural and the occult, this book will appeal as well to the legions of general readers captivated by this ancient myth.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>..".riveting study by one of the foremost authorities on witchcraft and occult phenomena....a mine of out-of-the-way information full of unspeakable tales."<br>
