These stories of vampire legends and gruesome nineteenth-century practices is “a major contribution to the study of New England folk beliefs” (The Boston Globe). For nineteenth-century New Englanders, “vampires” lurked behind tuberculosis. To try to rid their houses and communities from the scourge of the wasting disease, families sometimes relied on folk practices, including exhuming and consuming the bodies of the deceased. Folklorist Michael E. Bell spent twenty years pursuing stories of the vampire in New England. While writers like H.P. Lovecraft, Henry David Thoreau, and Amy Lowell drew on portions of these stories in their writings, Bell brings the actual practices to light for the first time. He shows that the belief in vampires was widespread, and, for some families, lasted well into the twentieth century. With humor, insight, and sympathy, he uncovers story upon story of dying men, women, and children who believed they were food for the dead. “A marvelous book.” —Providence Journal Includes an updated preface covering newly discovered cases.

Food has played a major role in funerary and memorial practices since the dawn of the human race. In the ancient Roman world, for example, it was common practice to build channels from the tops of graves into the crypts themselves, and mourners would regularly pour offerings of food and drink into these conduits to nourish the dead while they waited for the afterlife. Funeral cookies wrapped with printed prayers and poems meant to comfort mourners became popular in Victorian England; while in China, Japan, and Korea, it is customary to offer food not only to the bereaved, but to the deceased, with ritual dishes prepared and served to the dead. Dying to Eat is the first interdisciplinary book to examine the role of food in death, bereavement, and the afterlife. The contributors explore the phenomenon across cultures and religions, investigating topics including tombstone rituals in Buddhism, Catholicism, and Shamanism; the role of death in the Moroccan approach to food; and the role of funeral casseroles and church cookbooks in the Southern United States. This innovative collection not only offers food for thought regarding the theories and methods behind these practices but also provides recipes that allow the reader to connect to the argument through material experience. Illuminating how cooking and corpses both transform and construct social rituals, Dying to Eat serves as a fascinating exploration of the foodways of death and bereavement.

"Anglo-Saxons were not only frequently buried with material artefacts ranging from pots to clothing to jewellery, they were also often buried with items of food; the funeral ritual itself was sometimes marked by feasting, even at the graveside." "Christina Lee examines the place of food and feasting in funeral rituals from the earliest period to the eleventh century, considering the changes and transformations that occurred during this time. She draws on a wide range of sources, from archaeological evidence to the existing texts; she is concerned particularly to look at representations of funeral feasting and how it functioned as a tool for memory, shedding light on the relationship between the living and the dead." -- Prové de l'editor.

I've collected a selection of my poems and micro stories for anyone who has ever felt lost and alone in the world. For those who have been hurt and wronged by friends, lovers and even by their very own mind and heart. If you are like me, and have questioned the world we live in wondering were to go and what to do with your life. Fear not, for I have been there too, and steal feel that way. So come with me on this journey of life, and maybe we can find the answers together. Here is a sample of one of my poems. I hope you all find peace and happiness in this world and if I can help you on that Journey, then my purpose in life will be complete.What do you know of true loneliness21 Feb 2017The feeling of loneliness is like nothing I've ever felt before. Pain, hate, love, and all the other feeling one can feel, don't compare to the feeling of loneliness. And those who have never truly felt this, will never come to know, the raw and imperfect person, inside of themselves and us all.Its only in these moments of complete singularity of ones self. That you become open to the void of creation... To the real you. You may not like what you find, you may come to hate the very existence of your birth and being. But if you can push through the blackness that tries to consume your very soul, you just may find the person you were meant to be.That maybe, just maybe all the hardships and pain and especially the loneliness, was nothing more than a trial by fire. A cauldron of lost hopes, dreams and the illusion of what you thought was proper. In not only your thoughts but of other thoughts, of what was right, in what you were meant to be.That this journey of darkness and misery, was the only road you could have ever walked in this life, for it was your destiny to be alone. To be the... alone. And by claiming your right to this void of your own creation, just maybe, salvation of your very soul is within arms reach. Maybe, just maybe become pure... perfect.Becoming who you were meant to be. Own the darkness, claim the loneliness and make it bend to your will. Be not afraid to walk into the stygian blackness of your mind, for light and life await on the other side.
