In a world where vampires sparkle and where centuries-old vampires have teenage angst and bloodlust in the mix of all their problems, it’s nice to have a refreshing change to the vampire family – the Nachzehrer. This creature is a bizarre mix of ghoul and vampire, the Nachzehrer is a soul-sucking monster that is native to the northern regions of Germany who rises from the grave to devour his or her own kin. Now who would not want their kin rising from the grave searching them out to eat them? LOL

The Nachzehrer can also kill you by ringing church bells that bring death to all who hear them and by making you come in contact with its shadow. Now that sounds more frightening than glittering teenagers does it not?
