The first delves into medieval tales of demons and the living dead. The second focuses on the romantic and Victorian vampire, from Polidori's \"The Vampyre\" and Le Fanu's \u003ci\u003eCarmilla\u003c\/i\u003e to the story that preceded Stoker's \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e. The third part crosses the threshold of the 20th century with stranger reinterpretations of the myth, including H. P. Lovecraft and other pulp gems. Each text is preceded by a critical introduction that enriches the reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Authors and Editors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthors Included:\u003c\/b\u003e The anthology includes stories by masters such as John William Polidori, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Bram Stoker, Mary E.
