It
took
an
infuriatingly
long
time
,
of
course
.
When
the
results
came
up
,
there
was
a
lot
to
sift
through
-
everything
from
movies
and
TV
shows
to
role
-
playing
games
,
underground
metal
,
and
gothic
cosmetic
companies
.
Then
I
found
a
promising
site
-
Vampires
A
-
Z
.
I
waited
impatiently
for
it
to
load
,
quickly
clicking
closed
each
ad
that
flashed
across
the
screen
.
Finally
the
screen
was
finished
-
simple
white
background
with
black
text
,
academic
-
looking
.
Two
quotes
greeted
me
on
the
home
page
:

Throughout
the
vast
shadowy
world
of
ghosts
and
demons
there
is
no
figure
so
terrible
,
no
figure
so
dreaded
and
abhorred
,
yet
dight
with
such
fearful
fascination
,
as
the
vampire
,
who
is
himself
neither
ghost
nor
demon
,
but
yet
who
partakes
the
dark
natures
and
possesses
the
mysterious
and
terrible
qualities
of
both
.

If
there
is
in
this
world
a
well
-
attested
account
,
it
is
that
of
the
vampires
.
Nothing
is
lacking
:
official
reports
,
affidavits
of
well
-
known
people
,
of
surgeons
,
of
priests
,
of
magistrates
;
the
judicial
proof
is
most
complete
.
And
with
all
that
,
who
is
there
who
believes
in
vampires
?

The
rest
of
the
site
was
an
alphabetized
listing
of
all
the
different
myths
of
vampires
held
throughout
the
world
.
The
first
I
clicked
on
,
the
Danag
,
was
a
Filipino
vampire
supposedly
responsible
for
planting
taro
on
the
islands
long
ago
.
The
myth
continued
that
the
Danag
worked
with
humans
for
many
years
,
but
the
partnership
ended
one
day
when
a
woman
cut
her
finger
and
a
Danag
sucked
her
wound
,
enjoying
the
taste
so
much
that
it
drained
her
body
completely
of
blood
.
I
read
carefully
through
the
descriptions
,
looking
for
anything
that
sounded
familiar
,
let
alone
plausible
.
It
seemed
that
most
vampire
myths
centered
around
beautiful
women
as
demons
and
children
as
victims
;
they
also
seemed
like
constructs
created
to
explain
away
the
high
mortality
rates
for
young
children
,
and
to
give
men
an
excuse
for
infidelity
.
Many
of
the
stories
involved
bodiless
spirits
and
warnings
against
improper
burials
.

There
wasn
’
t
much
that
sounded
like
the
movies
I
’
d
seen
,
and
only
a
very
few
,
like
the
Hebrew
Estrie
and
the
Polish
Upier
,
who
were
even
preoccupied
with
drinking
blood
.
Only
three
entries
really
caught
my
attention
:
the
Romanian
Varacolaci
,
a
powerful
undead
being
who
could
appear
as
a
beautiful
,
pale
-
skinned
human
,
the
Slovak
Nelapsi
,
a
creature
so
strong
and
fast
it
could
massacre
an
entire
village
in
the
single
hour
after
midnight
,
and
one
other
,
the
Stregoni
benefici
.
About
this
last
there
was
only
one
brief
sentence
.
