Finally, the reality about vampires. Vampires are the most fearsome and amazing of all animals of folklore. For the first time, specific accounts of the vampire and how its custom developed in different cultures are accumulated in one size by eminent folklorist Alan Dundes. Leading scholars from the areas of Slavic studies, history, anthropology, and psychiatry unearth the true dynamics of the vampire from its labor and birth in graveyard lore to the modern-day psychiatric patient with a penchant for having blood vessels. The Vampire: A Casebook takes this legend out of the realm of books and film and back again to its dark beginnings in folk traditions. The essays examine the history of the term "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 daunting creature of the human being creativity, the vampire has been and continues to haunt the lives of all those who encounter it - in reality or in fiction. The publication is shared by College or university of Wisconsin Press.
