African Darkness: The continent where vampire legends began, and where they still hunt
About this audiobook
What if everything you thought you knew about vampires was wrong?
Long before Dracula terrorized European nights, something far more ancient stalked the African continent. From the iron-toothed Asasabonsam that dangles victims from treetops to the glowing Obayifo that infiltrates villages undetected, Africa's vampires are unlike anything the Western world imagines.
Drawing from suppressed colonial records, modern eyewitness accounts, and centuries-old oral traditions, investigative journalist David G. Stone uncovers the shocking truth: vampire legends didn't begin in Transylvanian castles—they began in the heart of Africa, and they never left.
African Darkness takes you on a terrifying journey through:
Ancient bloodlines that predate European vampire mythology by millennia
Modern encounters with entities that defy scientific explanation
Government cover-ups designed to protect tourism and national image
Traditional hunters who still battle these creatures using ancestral knowledge
From the lightning-bird vampires of South Africa to the blood-draining Wazimamoto of East Africa, this meticulously researched exposé reveals why Africa remains the world's most dangerous continent after dark.
Some hunts never end. Some darkness never dies.
Are you brave enough to learn where the real vampires hide?
