Review Quotes

"Thomas M. Bohn's book on the 'historical' vampire is the rare epitome of a knowledgeable, critical and non-speculative monograph on the subject matter; it is not popular non-fiction, but still a very readable piece of academic writing... a splendid study." - Journal of Vampire Studies

"One of the major contributions of Bohn's study is his meticulous historiography of vampirism in eastern Europe...Weaving together historical analysis with the process of Christianization, The Vampire: Origins of a European Myth offers an illuminating contribution to scholarship on the vampire figure." - Slavic Review

"Bohn's broad and diligently compiled study ranges from the legends of medieval Iceland, through early modern Silesia and Poland, and up to the modern-day Balkans... The author has tackled an important issue of pan-European relevance." - Sehepunkte
