For Blood is Life

This anthology presents English, German, Austrian, American, and Scottish classic vampire tales – astonishing creatures that just two centuries ago migrated from the realm of legends and lore into the world of fiction and transformed into the most popular heroes... of contemporary cultural mythology. Echoing each other with characters, situations, and meanings, the gothic (and not only) plots of the book reveal to the reader, behind the veil of everyday reality, an irrational and frightening world that undermines the self-assured claims to omniscience characteristic of the modern man.
The phenomenon of vampirism is narrated by J. W. Polidori, L. von Sacher-Masoch, J. Hawthorne, E. Nesbit, E. F. Benson, and other authors of the 19th - 20th centuries.
