Brian Frost chronicles the history of the vampire in myth and
literature, providing a sumptuous repast for all devotees of the
bizarre. In a wide-ranging survey, including plot summaries of
hundreds of novels and short stories, the reader meets an amazing
assortment of vampires from the pages of weird fiction, ranging
from the 10,000-year-old femme fatale in Robert E. Howard's "Conan
the Conqueror "to the malevolent fetus in Eddy C. Bertin's
"Something Small, Something Hungry." Nostalgia buffs will enjoy a
discussion of the vampire yarns in the pulp magazines of the
interwar years, while fans of contemporary vampire fiction will
also be sated.
