Why are we so enthralled by the vampire? This book descends into the murky shadows of the subconscious to present dreams, nightmares and fantasies that reveal the true power of the vampire's image. From the enticement of the vampire's kiss to the allure of immortality, vampires are the dark rebels, the outsiders and the opponents of established order. Tracing the vampire's journey from ancient lore to modern media, the book reveals the true stories of those who believe they have encountered vampires in real life. It researches the mythic connections between sex and death, and their links to sleep and dreams. This study is drawn from the result of a five-year survey into people's dreams and fantasies about vampires.
