Pop culture embraced them in its fullness, folktales enriched them, music, art, books and even cartoons took them to a completely new level, making them maybe even less scary than they ought to be and certainly so much more romantic. It is a creature known to people from ancient times and cultures and to so many different parts of the world, but what if I told you two Slavic countries claim the first vampire ever?
