I recently discovered this lost volume written by an eccentric but impeccable master researcher of the occult, witchcraft and vampirism in 1928. His name is Montaque Summers and he has written a chilling masterpiece about the origin, nature and reproduction of vampires as though they really exist. Perhaps this is what gives this book so much weigh, especially considering Summers annotated sources and footnotes. This book is worth reading for those who have no problem with the dark of night and creatures that may exist beyond our worst nightmares.About the AuthorAugustus Montague Summers (10 April 1880 - 10 August 1948) was an eccentric English author and clergyman. He is known mostly for his scholarly work on the English drama of the 17th century. But it is his idiosyncratic studies on witches, vampires, and werewolves, in all of which he professed to believe, that makes him so interesting. He was responsible for the first English translation, published in 1928, of the notorious 15th-century witch hunter's manual.
