砍頭與釘樁：不死族的千年恐懼與考古追獵之旅

by Angelika Franz, Daniel Nösler, 安格莉卡．法蘭茲

本書可說是不死族知識大百科，囊括歷史考古事件以及各式傳說與研究，從考古學觀點對所謂的不死族進行總體描述。那些埋藏在地底下的墓穴，保存了無數可靠的線索與證據，顯示出過去數百年裡活人與不死族之間進行過何等的戰鬥。這些東西可不只是存在恐怖小說及電影、電玩裡而已，他們曾真真實實地存在於人類歷史記載中，從古至今，從未絕跡。

murder, mutilation, child death, mention of rape and slavery and torture

This book is supposed to be about how archaeologists encounter belief in the undead in their line of work. Chained skeletons, missing heads, stakes driven through the heart, buried under a protective layer of rocks - there are various ways this can go.
I was excited to find this book at my library, since I am an archaeologist and into the darker myths.
I was disappointed to find that this book has no footnotes, and further, that the chapters are mostly rambling on. Yeah, sure, it's a great idea to introduce the reader to the myths you're talking about, but the tone is that of a gossip collumn. Someone said, someone else wrote, it is told, and so on.

Not what I came here for.

這是一本不死族追尋……覺得說大全就太過了，但是是蠻有意思的歸納整理，依年代（但主要集中在歐洲，特別是德國）整理和梳理「不死者」的民間傳說，以及民間對於「執著回到人間的死者」的恐懼以及相應的處理。
覺得讀下來蠻有趣的，可以說是很入門，然後有興趣可以從中再去挖出延伸的資料來讀這樣。
