“a solid and unusual reference work”―Reference Reviews
“the bibliography is impressive, to say the least, and if scholars were taking up a study of vampire mythology, this would be the volume to start with for the invaluable list of sources alone...a treasure trove of fascinating and horrifying details...useful, well conceived, and a terrific source of bibliographic material. Bane has done mythology studies and popular culture a service”―Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts.
From the earliest days of oral history to the present, the vampire myth persists among mankind's deeply-rooted fears. This encyclopedia, with entries ranging from "Abchanchu" to "Zmeus," includes nearly 600 different species of historical and mythological vampires, fully described and detailed.
