Κείμενο σταχυολογημένο από το The Vampire In Europe (1929). Καταιγιστικό, πλούσιο σε πληροφορίες, αλλά με ένα ελαττωματάκι: ο συγγραφέας κοροϊδεύει όσους πιστεύουν ότι το φαινόμενο βρυκόλακας μπορεί να εξηγηθεί με μη-υπερφυσικό τρόπο (όπως ας πούμε τον Τουρνεφόρ). Ο Σάμμερς πιστεύει ακράδαντα στην ύπαρξη του Σατανά και μάλιστα επιχειρηματολογεί επί της πλάνης της Ορθοδοξίας, λέγοντας ότι δεν έχει ακούσει να βρυκολακιάζουν πολλοί αγγλικανοί, αντίθετα, οι Ορθόδοξοι κι οι Μουσουλμάνοι συχνά-πυκνά το θέλουν το αιματάκι τους.
