Nominated for the Skroutz Book Awards 2025 public awards.

Nominated for the Skroutz Book Awards 2025 public awards. 

An anthology of short stories, from the mid-19th century to the Interwar period, that examines the figure of the archetypal evil in Greek dark folklore: the vampire.

A collection of stories which, when read by today's standards, can be categorized in the literary subgenre of folkloric horror and which focus on what Montague Summers called "the tradition that in Greece retained its power more than anywhere else in Europe," that of the vampires.

From the early writings of Dimitrios Ainianos to the dark humor of Ioannis Kondylakis and the chilling tales of Kostas Pasagiannis, 13 short stories that draw their primary material from a mosaic of folk traditions from all over Greece.

Review this product
  • Paper quality
  • Was it easy to read?
  • I liked the writing style
  • I would read a book by the same author
  • I would recommend it for reading
  • Was it interesting enough?
  • A gem for the genre that had escaped notice. The second story is rightly considered an integral part and the afterword was amazing.

  • hour-long folklore stories gathered in one book. Time passes pleasantly and it is a book that I don't know if there is something similar to find and read about what it deals with, at least in the Greek area
