"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. Now, Anthony Masters, in this fascinating & comprehensive survey of vampire mythology, has restored the dreaded vampire to his former state of demonic power."

binding is very clean- just a touch of edgewear/shelfwear. They used a two tone quarter green cloth over gray cloth and the green portion still is glossy. Internals very clean ( not even any pricing marks in pencil) though there is a paper clip indentation at the lower edge affecting the title, onwards for 20 pages. Unclipped wrapper has only some rubbing but I detect no tears, creases or chips. The paper is wonderful; it strikes me as feeling and looking like "linen" (not your business/office grade) but I am by no means an expert on paper. This US Stackpole Edition omits 8 plates which are in the UK Allen & Unwin volume. Well-preserved, excellent copy.Inv. # 63672 NOAB* bds 9/2023
