Vampires! Author A.P. Sylvia drops by to share the history of vampires in the western world in his latest book Vampires of Lore: Traits and Modern Misconceptions. These undead immortals have haunted our favorite books, television shows, and movies for decades. A.P's exploration of a seemingly supernatural topic delves into past traditions around the world and how those traditions have affected our pop-culture modern-day monster. His book explores belief systems as well as origins of various notions we all seem to have about vampires, and unearth the bloody dirt about this mystical creature. Did villagers really use wooden stakes, garlic, and mirrors? What about vampires turning into bats or hypnotizing victims? Did they really cause disease, turn into dogs, and sleep in coffins? Topics are arranged by trait so that the reader can consider each characteristic before believing or dismissing it. So . . . if you're ready, let's hunt some vampires.
