This review is from: Cinematic Vampires: The Living Dead on Film and Television, from the Devil's Castle (1896 to Bram Stroker's Dracula) (Hardcover)

This tripe is so fully of inaccuracies that you'll find yourself laughing or gasping on almost every page. It's the FIRST book in my life that I DEMANDED my money back. If you're looking for books on Vampire Cinema, there are DOZENS of better choices you can make!
