I forget the name of the author and the exact title (I don't have a copy
of my own), but there was an amusing and comprehensive pseudo-scientific
"natural history of rusalkas", subdivided by genus and species, written in
Estonian (I think) but certainly translated into Czech and published a few
years back. I doubt there was anything on vampires...
