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. 606 $aVampires 606 $aAnimals, Mythical 615 0$aVampires. 615 0$aAnimals, Mythical. 676 $a398.21 701 $aBrodman$b Barbara$01530595 701 $aDoan$b James E$01530596 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792075503321 996 $aThe universal vampire$93775759 997 $aUNINA
