"Armed with a crucifix, a wooden stake, a bottle of holy water, and a string of garlic, the vampire hunter ventures into the world of the undead to end the existence of those who have already died. This collection of 14 stories shifts the traditional focus of the genre from creatures of the night to the figures who stalk them. Introduced by the archetypal vampire hunter, Dracula's Professor Van Helsing, here are tales from such acclaimed authors as Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Anne Rice, Robert Bloch, and Peter Tremayne - whose eerie tale transplants the character of Van Helsing to modern-day Ireland."--Goodreads

Vampires are the most fearsome and fascinating of all creatures of folklore. For the first time, detailed accounts of the vampire and how its tradition developed in different cultures are gathered in one volume by eminent folklorist Alan Dundes. Eleven leading scholars from the fields of Slavic studies, history, anthropology, and psychiatry unearth the true nature of the vampire from its birth in graveyard lore to the modern-day psychiatric patient with a penchant for drinking blood. The Vampire: A Casebook takes this legend out of the realm of literature and film and back to its dark beginnings in folk traditions. The essays examine the history of the word “vampire;” Romanian vampires; Greek vampires; Serbian vampires; the physical attributes of vampires; the killing of vampires; and the possible psychoanalytic underpinnings of vampires. Much more than simply a scary creature of the human imagination, the vampire has been and continues to haunt the lives of all those who encounter it—in reality or in fiction.
