The 1930s was a time where the idea of a vampire was starting to become mainstream in movies and media. Dracula had just been released to audiences and Peter Kürten otherwise known as The Vampire of Düsseldorf- a serial killer with an obsession with blood- had just been executed in July of 1931.

So, in 1932 when a 32 year old sex worker named Lilly Lindeström is found beaten and drained of all of her blood, the Stockholm media have a field day. Was Lilly's killer really a vampire who roamed the Swedish streets or did she just invite the wrong man in??

What really happened to Lilly Lindeström?
