Description
From Halloween to the silver screen, vampires have become a prominent feature of modern culture. However, legends of scary bloodsuckers date back thousands of years. Vampires explores the spooky world of vampire myths, Transylvanian tales, and real vampire people who would send a shiver down the spine of Count Dracula himself.
