The Vampire Hunter is one of the most courageous figures to stalk horror fiction's bloody pages. Venturing into the world of the Undead armed only with a crucifix, wooden stake, garlic and a bottle of holy water, he dares the impossible - to end the existence of those already dead. And while Count Dracula is assured his place as the father of all vampires, so his nemesis in Bram Stoker's seminal creation, Professor Abraham van Helsing, has his own immortality guaranteed within the pantheon of horror.
From its first incarnation in 19th-century melodrama to the works of more recent masters of the supernatural, such as Anne Rice and Robert Bloch, Peter Haining's anthology of short stories traces the fictional history of the vampire's greatest foe. Including the vampire hunter's earliest appearance in Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's 'Carmilla' - with one of the most gruesome scenes in all of vampire literature - Van Helsing's shadow casts an unmistakeable presence over a diverse range of authors.
Soft cover, fair condition. The cover is a bit creased in places. Some foxing. 361 pages.
