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.

Stoker's notes
As I keep saying: this blog is not about Dracula, however, I think a lot of people will be pleased to know that McFarland will be publishing a facsimile edition of Bram Stoker's Notes for Dracula this fall or winter. Annotated and transcribed by Robert Eighteen-Bisang and Elizabeth Miller, this will be first time that the complete notes will be published, finally enabling every scholar or Dracula buff to study these notes for a better understanding of the genesis of the novel Dracula.

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!
