Vampires: From Dracula to Twilight - The Complete Guide to Vampire Mythology by Charlotte Montague
From Bram Stoker’s Dracula to Stephenie Meyer’s hugely successful Twilight series of books, writers, artists and film-makers have been entranced by the vampiric legend for hundreds of years. In the West, the vampire myth is widely thought to have been based on the life of Vlad the Impaler, a 15th-century Wallachian warrior-prince whose devotion to cruelty and killing made the lives of his subjects miserable, bloody and short. However, bloodsuckers of all shapes and sizes feature in many cultures.
Vampires explores these diverse myths and legends, their impact on popular culture and the possible explanations behind such phenomena. The book also investigates the lives of real-life individuals who have dedicated themselves to the pursuit of blood, drawing on the vampiric tradition for their inspiration.
