Instead, we find examples of vampires from literally around the world: each culture and age reshaping the legend in its own image and even seeking psychological and scientific explanations to explain the phenomenon.VampiresAnimals, MythicalElectronic books.Vampires.Animals, Mythical.398.21Brodman Barbara869411Doan James E869412MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465393403321The universal vampire2458009UNINA
