Carlos Fraga :
For those who don't know: In European tradition, especially in the folklore of the Balkans and Eastern Europe, vampires and werewolves already had overlapping stories. In some beliefs, a dead person could return as a creature resembling a vampire; in others, people who died in certain ways could transform into animals. However, the association of “vampire = being able to turn into a bat, wolf, rat, etc.” became much more famous through Gothic literature. The classic example is Dracula by Bram Stoker (1897). In the novel, Count Dracula possesses various supernatural abilities, including the power to assume animal forms. He is primarily associated with bats, wolves, mist, and a gigantic dog-like or wolf-like creature.
