Vampire Legends of the Old World

By Aisling Morrígan

From the mist-shrouded villages of Romania to the haunted graveyards of Serbia and the shadowed castles of Transylvania, the vampire has stalked the imagination of Europe for centuries. Long before the creature became a figure of gothic romance, it was a terror of the night - a bloated corpse rising from the grave to spread disease, famine, and fear.

In Vampire Legends of the Old World, Aisling Morr gan takes readers deep into the folklore that birthed the modern myth. Discover the chilling accounts of the Serbian vampire epidemics, the restless strigoi of Romania, the soul-hungry revenants of Bulgaria, and the evolution of the dreaded Nosferatu. Explore the rituals of blood and burial, the weapons of garlic and iron, the legends of hunters who dared to confront the undead, and the transformation of the vampire from peasant terror to gothic aristocrat.

Drawing on centuries of history, myth, and storytelling, this book uncovers the vampire in its oldest and rawest form - not as a romantic antihero, but as a creature of contagion, betrayal, and unholy hunger.

Dark, scholarly, and unforgettable, Vampire Legends of the Old World is both a journey into the shadow of history and a reflection on why the vampire continues to haunt us today.
