Anthology. In this thematic collection, we have gathered seven stories by Cyprien Bérard, Paul Féval, Louis-Sébastien Mercier, Marie Nizet, Charles Nodier, Jean Ray and J.-H. Rosny Aîné, published between 1768 and 1933, that encapsulate the archetypes of the Vampire myth, in both its erotic and thanatological forms.
