The image of the reanimated corpse, rising from the grave to feast on human blood and prolong its earthly existence, has long been deeply ingrained in European culture. It finally crystallized in the 19th century on the pages of Bram Stoker's Dracula.

But how were vampires represented in folk beliefs and legends around the world? This book brings together historical evidence and folklore from various cultures, allowing us to understand why our ancestors believed in vampires, how they imagined them, and how they protected themselves from them.

Claude Lecouteux is a French philologist and medievalist, Professor Emeritus and Head of the Department of Literature and Culture of Medieval Germanic Peoples at Sorbonne University.
