This is the first definitive catalogue of vampires that has been compiled in the past 300 years. Before Bram Stoker's Dracula, before Vlad the Impaler, the world lived in mortal fear of the undead rising from their graves to feed upon the living. In this book, vampirologist Theresa Bane reveals the actual, factual truth about these creatures from history, myth, and legend.
Vampirologist, Theresa Bane has been featured on Discovery Channels' "Twisted History: Vampires" as well as E!'s "10 Sexiest Vampires" for her knowledge and expertise on the undead.
Bane is the author of "The Encyclopedia of Vampire Mythology," "Actual Factual: Dracula," "Haunted Historic Greensboro," and "Ghost Stories and Folklore of the Piedmont, North Carolina." She has also written a dark humor book entitled "The Bloodthirsty Weasels: On the Loose and Buck Wild" as well as regularly writing content and satirical articles for on-line magazines.
When not writing, Bane travels educating audiences about the differences between traditional mythology and horror fiction. A diehard gamer originally from the NY/NJ area, she currently resides in North Carolina with her husband, T. Glenn Bane. Please feel free to visit her website at theresabane dot net.
