Vampires, Burial, And Death

In this engrossing book, Paul Barber surveys centuries of folklore about vampires and offers the first scientific explanation for the origins of vampire legends. 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, his book is fascinating reading. Packed with information, this book is in previously loved, great condition with very slight cosmetic wear and some sticker residue on the front cover. Perfect for a Halloween read or to give as a gift, this book will keep you up at night!
