Nick Groom provides a comprehensive cultural history of the vampire, tracing its evolution from eighteenth-century folklore to the definitive literary debut in John Polidori’s 1819 novella. This scholarly examination situates the figure of the vampire within the broader context of Enlightenment thought, medical history, and the shifting anxieties of the nineteenth century. Groom meticulously documents how this enduring archetype transitioned from a regional superstition into a global icon of modern literature.
