The Vampire: A New History

2.5/5
I had to read this for my history course because it was most voted for in class. So I didn’t choose to read this haha.
Anyway, I simply am not extremely fascinated with vampires to the point where I needed to read hundreds of pages of its history and for that I gave it a low rating. However, because the author related vampirism to other historical things that I love such as Romanticism and the Enlightenment, I was very interested in those chapters and got a lot out of them so I gave the book stars for that. Overall, I would have to say average though. The argument was lost in all the quotes, paraphrasing, and outside sources. Organization could’ve been better and narrative-like writing would’ve been much appreciative.
