Description
Three centuries after a devastating vampire outbreak terrorized Central Europe and two decades after John Polidori's The Vampyre entered the literary scene, a new story about the vampire emerges. This narrative explores its origins in 1725, at the eastern borders of the Habsburg Empire. A series of supernatural events captivated doctors, scientists, and theologians across the continent, crystallizing into a clash between emerging rationality of the Enlightenment and traditional folklore of the Balkans. The resulting investigation became a topic of fascination for the general public, even before poets and writers fell prey to a "vampiromania" that reached its peak in 1897. In this new story about the vampire, Nick Groom delves into the complex history of a fictional creature turned icon, from early medical attempts to debunk the legend to superstitions surrounding blood and the body.
