Epilogue
Bibliography And AcknowledgementsWonderful as these selections are, the main reason to invest in a copy of either (or both) of these is Frayling’s superb introduction(s) and notes which account for a hundred or so pages. Frayling was among the first to question whether Montague Summers’ researches had anything much going for them in the “fact” department. Judging by the likes of Arlene Russo’s recent Vampire Nation, nobody listened. Just as Varney, the Vampyre was wrongly attributed to T. P. Prest for several years, my friend Mr. Brautigam at Shroudeater, a man whose opinion I trust in such matters, advises me that Wake Not The Dead was NOT the work of Tieck but “it was written by Ernst Benjamin Salomo Raupach as Lasst Die Toten Ruhen, and it was published in 1823, not before”.
