The Croglin Vampire (1984)

Originally commissioned by Wiedenfeld & Nicholson but not used. Later used as a bookcover for Best New Horror 1990, edited by Stephen Jones and Ramsey Campbell and published by Robinson, and on Super-Monsters by Daniel Cohen, published by Archway. Also used on the CD cover Alive & Screaming by Krokus and a German Magazine.

This is based on a "true" story and was originally to be used in a collection of true supernatural stories which never materialised. The vampire's appearance is related to the description in the story and not, as some have remarked, derived from Nosferatu.
