Some contemporary authors named this phenomenon Magia Posthuma. This blog is dedicated to understanding what happened and why.

Obsah - contents
There wasn't much information about the contents of Giuseppe Maiello's book on vampirism in European cultural history in my entry on that book, so I'll just try to correct that error by showing you the table of contents. There is an appendix containing four texts (Phlegon of Tralles, Tournefort, van Swieten and Maria Theresa). Click on the image to better see what it looks like.
