Description

You've probably read enough books on Old West ghost stories to turn blue in the face by now. But what about a tome of bonafide vampire encounters from North America's pioneer period? That's right, America had vampires, and possibly still does. Open this book to learn of famous cases like the so-called "vampires" of Exeter, Rhode Island, and other more obscure mysteries.

 For instance, ever heard of the vampiric man who fed on humans and cattle alike on the ranges of Nebraska in 1896? What about Comte St. Germain, the immortal mystic who retained his youth by consuming blood in New Orleans? Or, did you know that President Andrew Johnson pardoned a deranged sailor who thought himself a vampire?

 In this book, prepare to learn the secret hidden history of the undead, including the the mysterious tribe of "Moon Eyed People" who only came out at night in North Carolina; the wooden stake driven through a vampire's heart in Mexico that turned into a supernatural, blood-dripping tree; the ghost of a 19th Century serial killer that drains its victims of energy in a lonely Missouri cemetery; a tribe of mystical Little People mentioned by Lewis and Clark that may have been blood-suckers, and an epidemic of shapeshifting vampires in rural Mexico!
