How did other monsters eventually coalesce as what we know as vampires? Who was the real Vlad the Impaler, and how did he come to personify the classic vampire? How did vampire-related oral traditions evolve over the centuries—and then explode with unprecedented force in both literature and popular culture from the mid-nineteenth century on?
