There was a time when vampires inhabited Central and Eastern Europe and were poised to conquer the entire continent. At least, so claimed newspapers, which reported that on Christmas Day 1731, the dead rose from their graves and declared war on the living.

In his book, F. P. De Ceglia examines the history of vampires in Europe as an unprecedented moral panic, leading even enlightened people to fear the spirits of the dead and to dig up the bodies of the innocent dead to burn or impale them. The author, with a captivating and ironic twist, recounts how ideas of vampirism and the return of the dead existed in Slavic, Finno-Ugric, Romance, Germanic, and Scandinavian cultures; why Transylvania was considered the abode of bloodsuckers; and how, following Stoker's book, the image of the vampire was appropriated by popular culture.
