Description
Detailed accounts of the vampire legend are gathered in this volume by folklorist Alan Dundes, exploring its development in different cultures. Eleven leading scholars examine the history of the word "vampire", its physical attributes, and its killing, as well as its possible psychoanalytic underpinnings. This collection takes the vampire legend out of literature and film, returning it to its dark beginnings in folk traditions.
