The most terrifying truth about vampires has been hidden in plain sight for centuries.
Forget everything Hollywood taught you about vampires. Forget Dracula, forget Transylvania, forget gothic castles shrouded in mist. The real vampire story begins in Africa-and it's far more horrifying than any fiction.
What makes African vampires different? Unlike their European counterparts, Africa's blood-drinkers don't fear sunlight, crosses, or garlic. They walk among us undetected, shape-shift at will, and possess abilities that make Dracula look like a children's bedtime story.

Drawing from over a decade of research across twenty African nations, journalist David G. Stone presents evidence that will shatter your understanding of vampire mythology forever. From witness testimonies to archaeological discoveries, from tribal elder interviews to leaked military reports, African Darkness exposes the continent's most dangerous secret.
The Obayifo still hunt in Ghana's villages. The Asasabonsam still lurk in the forest canopy. The Impundulu still possess the innocent.
And they're spreading beyond Africa's borders.
Some legends are real. Some monsters never die. And some truths are too dangerous to ignore.
