The Vampire - His Kith and Kin is a 1928 work by English clergyman and author Montague Summers. Within it, Summers discusses the vampire phenomena from a Catholic point of view, offering an a veritably academic study of the subject. Contents include: The Origins of the Vampire , The Generation of the Vampire , The Traits and Practice of Vampirism , The Vampire in Assyria, the East, and Some Ancient Countries , and The Vampire in Literature . Augustus Montague Summers (1880 - 1948) was an English clergyman and author most famous for his studies on vampires, witches and werewolves--all of which he believed to be very much real. He also wrote the first English translation of the infamous 15th-century witch hunter's manual, the Malleus Maleficarum , in 1928. Other notable works by this author include: A Popular History of Witchcraft (1937), Witchcraft and Black Magic (1946), and The Physical Phenomena of Mysticism (1947).
