The
Monster with a Thousand Faces
Guises of the Vampire
in Myth and Literature
Brian J. Frost
Popular Press
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.
