A History of Vampires in New England

Thomas D'Agostino,

About this book

The author of A Guide to Haunted New England lifts the coffin lid on the region's folklore and legends of the undead.

New England is rich in history and mystery. Numerous sleepy little towns and farming communities distinguish the region's scenic tranquility. But not long ago, New Englanders lived in fear of spectral ghouls believed to rise from their graves and visit family members in the night to suck their lives away. Although the word "vampire" was never spoken, scores of families disinterred loved ones during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries searching for telltale signs that one of them might be what is now referred to as the New England vampire.

"In his remarkable book . . . Thomas D'Agostino details the longstanding belief among New Englanders that supernatural entities were responsible for the disease called consumption."— Crime Capsule
