The Vampire, his Kith and Kin,
by Montague Summers. [1928]


Summers, a devout and very literal Catholic, was apparently convinced of the reality of the undead. This work is a serious, often pedantic, academic review of the literature. However, it is required reading for any prospective vampire experts.

(An Internet rumor has it that Buffy Summers got her last name from this author; we welcome any comments on whether there is any truth to this.)
