Note 19 — Chapter XVIII
C. H. (Charles Henry) Tawney translation
Cp. Ralston’s account of the Vampire as represented in the Skazkas. “It is as a vitalized corpse that the visitor from the other world comes to trouble mankind, often subject to human appetites, constantly endowed with more than human strength and malignity.”—Ralston’s Russian Folk-Tales, p. 306.
