Desde el comienzo de la historia en numerosas y diferentes culturas han aparecido leyendas sobre los vampiros. Estos mitos se han transmitido de generación en generación y se han convertido en parte imprescindible del folclore popular. Posteriormente, autores como Polidori, Charles Nodier, Hoffmann, Samuel Coleridge, Sheridan Le Fanu o Teophile Gautier sentarían las bases del vampiro clásico que se iría desarrollando, novela a novela, hasta convertirse en el vampiro contemporáneo: Drácula.
En esta antología publicamos una serie de relatos que abordan desde diferentes perspectivas los mitos de los vampiros.
