[Preface to the 1924 edition]

T he present work is, the publishers believe,

the only comprehensive collection of vampire

stories of all ages and nations now extant.

The earlier edition having been entirely exhausted,

the opportunity has been taken to amplify and enlarge

the records given in several directions and the increase

the original work by some ﬁfty or sixty pages. How

much of the belief in vampirism is pure folk-lore and

how authorities diﬀer, but there is no dispute as to

the perennial hold upon human imagination which this

fascinating subject possesses.
