Hardback. Zustand: Good. Psychologist Hans Askenasy has put together the first comprehensive history of a subject combining violence, horror, and exotic customs.

Among the people and events covered are the siege of Leningrad by the Nazis; the wreckage of the frigate Medusa; the Donner Party; the notorious nineteenth-century Colorado Man-Eater, Alferd Packer; the Andes plane crash of 1972; Elizabeth Bathory (b. 1560), the Vampire Lady of the Carpathians; and Georg Haarmann, who ground up his victims and sold them as potted meat. In Part Three, Cannibalism in Culture and Society, Askenasy addresses our continuing fascination with cannibals, man-eating witches, werewolves, and vampires in literature, myth, and the media, ranging from Francis Ford Coppola's film version of Bram Stoker's Dracula and Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles to the blood curdling events surrounding the cases of Issei Sagawa, Jeffrey Dahmer, and the Russian schoolteacher-turned torturer, Andrei Romanovitsch Chikatilo.…
