Трето издание. ... Защото не искаме и не можем да пуснем мъртвите си любими. В това лично изследване моята цел е да разгледаме по-детайлно лицето на вампира и цялостният му образ да бъде преосмислен. Вдъхновението ми за този труд се породи от мистичните български народни песни. Видях лицето на вампира не като зловещ коректив, създаден, за да се спазват стриктно погребалните ритуали, а като поетичен образ, олицетворяващ безсмъртната ни връзка към смъртните ни любими. Българският фолклор се оказа океан от сложни вярвания, в който искам да потопя българския читател и поне за миг той да се гмурне в мистичните извивки на ... |

He dissected the idea of nationalism and he examined the failings of the Left.
