Frayling C. Vampyres: Lord Byron to Count Dracula

London: Faber & Faber, 1992. — 447 p.Vampire literature is an amazingly varied genre of writing, providing elements of everything from the penny dreadful horrors to powerful doses of myth and eroticism. Because it contains its own mythology and its own set of rules, it has also proved a psychologically attractive genre for many writers from its Romantic inception to the present day.List of Illustrations
