Nigel Suckling, one of the foremost authorities on unicorns, leprechauns, and angels, has developed a taste for blood. Book of the Vampire is a stimulating and chilling look at world-wide and ages-old myths about blood-sucking creatures. The accounts range from South America’s Chupacabras to Malaysia’s penanggalan, whose disembodied flying heads terrified believers. Suckling begins his inquiry with Bram Stoker, whose classic Dracula revived a flagging interest among Victorians for elegant hosts with curious appetites. The book digs deep into Stoker’s influences from ancient cultures, including the lamia and the succubus myths from Rome, Greece, and the Middle East, and also examines vampire myths from a spiritual perspective. Bruce Pennington, a well-known and extremely popular fantasy artist, contributes gorgeous illustrations that contribute to the Vampire attraction. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
The UK's leading authority examines the myth and legend surrounding vampires. Using Bram Stoker's Dracula as a starting point - the folklore and the legend that Stoker drew on - there follows a discussion of Vlad the Impaler, Elizabeth Bathory, Bluebeard and the significance of bloodlust in ancient and medieval times.
