On several occasions, particularly on the periphery of the Habsburg Empire during the 17th and 18th centuries, dead people were suspected of being revenants or vampires, and consequently dug up and destroyed. Some contemporary authors named this phenomenon Magia Posthuma. This blog is dedicated to understanding what happened and why.

You may also be interested in my new book out in October: "The New Annotated Dracula," to be published by W. W. Norton. This work has extensive notes on the Stoker notes as well as the never-before-studied manuscript of Stoker's work, plus Victorian culture, geography, language, and history, plus in-depth essays on related topics and almost 300 illustrations.

Thank you for this interesting information. I just made a quick search and noticed a bit of information on Norton's web site, and then you have your own web site. So there's definitely something to look forward to for 'Dracula buffs' this year!
