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.

More on eBooks on demand
I mentioned the concept of eBooks on demand in a previous post, and I would like to point the web site of that excellent and promising initiative. The list of libraries that are part of the initiative includes major libraries in Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and other countries on the European continent. In short, we can hopefully look forward to being able to borrow more books related to the subject of vampires and magia posthuma of a better quality than some of those available on Google books.
