Paul Barber 写的《吸血鬼、葬礼与死亡：民俗与现实》（Vampires, Burial, and Death: Folklore and Reality）。这书简直就是我的圣经，而且足以道尽我的世俗主义本质。不过跟别人聊起来时，我都只说这是一本关于吸血鬼神话的硬核好书。
Vampires, Burial, and Death: Folklore and Reality by Paul Barber. It's pretty much my Bible, and is all that needs to be said about the nature of my secularism. I tell people it's a cool book about vampire myths, though.
如果有人对这个话题感兴趣，我可以推荐 Paul Barber 写的《Vampires, burial and death》。虽然有点车轱辘话，但写得很好。实际上我就是在 HN 上被安利这本书的。
If anyone is interested in the subject I can suggest "Vampires, burial and death" by Paul Barber. It's repetitive but good. In fact I have discovered this book on HN.
如果你更偏好用唯物主义、更偏法医刑侦视角（作者在调研期间还特意咨询了 LAPD）来剖析吸血鬼神话，我推荐 Barber 1988 年写的《Vampires, Burial, and Death: Folklore and Reality》。附赠彩蛋：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a6YFwC2zKA
If you'd prefer a more materialistic, more forensic (the author consulted LAPD during his research), approach to vampire mythology, I recommend Barber, Vampires, Burial, and Death: Folklore and Reality (1988). Lagniappe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a6YFwC2zKA
这个话题在《Vampires, Burial, and Death》里有详尽剖析，那本书现在至少已经出到第二版了。与此颇为相似的是，电影《死岛》（Isle of the Dead，1945）也探讨了瘟疫以及当地关于‘vorvolaka’的迷信，那算是吸血鬼传说的另一种隐晦变体。
This topic was covered extensively in Vampires, Burial, and Death, which is now on at least its second edition. Rather similarly, Isle of the Dead (1945) concerned the plague and local superstition about the "vorvolaka," another vaguely vampish permutation.
