Most of us know about vampires, or so we thought. Our belief that they're only a fantasy - is mistaken. Vampires are real. Archaeologist Timothy Taylor and anthropologist Kathryn Denning set out on a global quest to discover the origins of the vampire myth and to find out why these creatures continue to have such a hold on our imaginations. In a journey that takes them from the mountains of Transylvania and the jungles of Brazil to the vampire “covens” of present-day New York, Tim and Kathryn attempt to find out if there is a dark reality lurking behind the myth of this terrible creature. Real Vampires will show you who they are, when and where they've lived, and why they want to drink our blood. Travelling to locations that are connected to real-life characters with near-demonic bloodlust, from historical figures like Vlad the Impaler (Romania) and Countess Bathory (Hungary) to modern day monsters like Marcelo de Andrade (Brazil) and Richard Trenton Chase (United States), Real Vampires presents the Natural History of the Vampire - a comprehensive look at the creature that has haunted us for centuries. Spanning five hundred years and three continents, Real Vampires is a fascinating and surprising look into the myth of the vampire and how it has changed over the centuries. Do vampires, as so many people claim, exist? Find out as we go in search of, Real Vampires.
