註釋In this book, Paul Barber surveys centuries of folklore about vampires - from the tale of a sixteenth-century shoemaker from Breslau whose ghost terrorized everyone in the city, to the testimony of a doctor who presided over the exhumation and dissection of a graveyard full of Serbian vampires - and offers the first scientific explanation for the origin of the vampire legends. His book will be fascinating reading for scientists, historians, and anthropologists as well as for anyone interested in folklore.
