Black Sunday

There are a couple books in the series that will cover the years between Polidori's 1819 work "The Vampire" and the appearance in 1928 of "Viy", but these chapbooks are still in pre-production. So, next in line is Classic Vampires Revisited: Black Sunday, which contains my intro on Gogol and the Mario Bava film inspired by his Russian vampire novella

Contents:
Introduction, "Black Sunday" by Tom English
1835: (translation of 1928 novella) “Viy” (novella) by Nikolai Gogol

The striking cover image is by UK writer/editor/illustrator Dave Carson.
