RICHARD FREEMAN: The Monsters of Prague Part 9

Drinker Up Bloody Knee
The vampires of Prague seem like a half-arsed bunch. One fellow, who became a vampire was a shabby little man who frequented second-rate ale houses. When he didn't have enough money to buy his own beer he finished the dregs left by others. No one even knew his name. One night a fight broke out between two men and he was unlucky enough to be standing close by. The little man was accidentally stabbed and died.

He was taken to a crematorium to be burned but he had become a vampire and escaped. He survived by sleeping in other people's coffins in the graveyards of Olsany. Too timid to kill, he fed by lickng up the blood of people who got into fights and the knees of chldren who had fallen over, hence his name Drinker Up Bloody Knee. It is said that if you want to see this pathetic little vampire you must give yourself a nosebleed. He will appear to lick up the drops of blood.
