Historical accounts of the undead who returned from the grave to drink human blood!
From the cobblestone streets of medieval Europe, across the vastness of Asia and the jungles of Africa, to the haunted forests of New England in the 20th century, the author brings his researches to life in over fifty narratives and case histories.
Have you ever wondered whether or not vampires actually exist? Whether they are merely folk tales or real creatures that walk the same world we do? Donald F. Glut's classic survey of the historical record provides food for thought and fascinating insights into the sanguinary world of True Vampires of History.
