Vampiri

Suckers of blood or vital energy, undead condemned to walk the earth deprived of eternal rest, bewitching creatures capable of bending the most incorruptible souls and infiltrating human existences, disturbing them to the point of ruin.

Vampires have always represented an attractive dark force, the forbidden, capable of attracting like a magnet anyone who approaches them.

From Lilith, queen of the demons, already present in the ancient sacred texts, to Bram Stoker's Dracula, to Carmilla, the first one to appear in a book, to Nosferatu and the Volturi of the Twilight Saga, vampires have been the protagonists of bloody and horrific, but also romantic and adventurous tales and stories that have become part of the popular imagination over the centuries.

In The Creatures of Mythologika - Vampires we trace the origins of these creatures, whose roots lie in the legends of ancient peoples and who have come down to us through films and novels of the horror, fantasy and sci-fi genres. Through the texts of Alex L. Mainardi, accompanied by the illustrations of Casa Ailus artists, between pages full of secrets and obscure truths, these mysterious figures take shape: evil and wonderful, eternally damned and incredibly fascinating.
