A superb copy of the first edition. Belief in vampires - creatures who arise at night from their graves & suck the warm blood of living men and women - has been know in practically every part of the world, and its roots are buried deep in pagan practices - in cannibalism, ancestor worship & blood sacrifice. Medieval Christianity, by condemning the vampire cult, merely increased the hysterical fear of the vengeful dead. Anthony Masters, in this fascinating & comprehensive survey of vampire mythology, has restored the dreaded vampire to his former state of demonic power.
A really good copy. Not often seen in this condition. Pages are bright and tidy. No marks or creases. Literally one or two minor fox spots on edge. Cloth boards are tight and clean. DJ is unclipped. Minor shelfwear, some colour fade and rubbing but generally very good. Now covered in professional clear removable book cover. 259pp with bibliography, index, B&W illustrations.
