"In all the darkest pages of the malign supernatural there is no more terrible tradition than that of the Vampire, a pariah even among demons. Foul are his ravages; gruesome and seemingly barbaric are the ancient and approved methods by which folk must rid themselves of this hideous pest." Contents include the Origins of the Vampire, Generation of the Vampire, The Vampire in Ancient Civilizations, The Vampire in Literature.
Montague Summers (1880–1948), was considered the preeminent authority on vampires, witches and werewolves.
