Forests
of the Vampire: Slavic Myth by Charles Phillips,
and Michael Kerrigan. Myth and Mankind. Amsterdam: Duncan
Baird Publishers for Time-Life Books, 1999.
Part of the well-written and beautifully illustrated Myth
and Mankind Series, which can be difficult
to find in the United States. If you see one that interests
you, grab
it. I recently found a bunch at Powells
Used Books. |

Past-Creating a Vision of Your Future by David
Feinstein, and Stanley Krippner. New York: G.P. Putnam's
Sons, 1997.
