Vampiric Quotes

“...in other spheres of Victorian Society the appeal of a young woman dressed in black from head to toe was acknowledged. In Victorian popular culture, widows had two manifestations: the battleaxe and the man-eater, preying upon husbands and bachelors alike.

       “Good God, Stefan, of course not!”
       “Pity...”
