Vampires And Vampirism by Montague Summers
A compact yet comprehensive survey of vampire lore and reported cases from across Europe and beyond, combining translations of historical documents and eyewitness accounts with commentary on folklore, superstitions, ecclesiastical responses, and customary remedies for identifying and destroying the undead; the work treats the subject as a genuine phenomenon while tracing its origins, social and religious contexts, and its treatment in popular and literary traditions, and it includes discussions of alleged court records, exhumation reports, ritual practices, and methods of exorcism and prevention.
