With his landmark book, Liquid Dreams of Vampires, Martin Riccardo has once again established himself as America's foremost authority on Vampires and the occult. His previously well researched publications have been invaluable sources of knowledge for not only the causal student interested in the allures of the fanged-fiend, but also for the academic scholar as well. The dreams portrayed in Liquid reflect a wide variety of emotions and experiences, and the author reflects a common-sense approach to deciphering their meanings. While most people may not have had the nightmarish sensation of a Vampire at their neck, the book does reflect a sense of the unknown everyone can relate to. Seeking the Vampire, like truth itself, goes on . . .

I had several dreams on vampires that's why the title appeal to be immediatly. By reading it I saw that I was right, I loved it! I was becoming tired of books who just speak of the vamps in history or the "famous" ones... this book speak of what are behind those myths the mysteries and the passions evoque by such creatures. I read it several times and I can't get enough.

Mr. Riccardo relates the fantasies, daydreams, nocturnal dreams, real-life experiences and realities of current living vampires and their victims (victim is a harsh word in most cases). I had been checking out vampire sites for sometime when someone recommended this book. I thought I was in the minority regarding my "vampire" dreams, but I see that there are many others who have had very similar experiences, including the physical manifestation of bite marks (perhaps psychosomatic, perhaps not). I believe that anyone who is interested in vampirism or is a vampire should get the book and read it with an open mind. Many sanguinarian (blood-drinkers) today do not believe that vampirism is transmitted from vampire-to-vampire, but that one is born with vampirism. Perhaps both are true.

This book showed me I am not alone in my love for vampires. It's filled with fact and fiction, fantasies and dreams and is going on a special place in my bookcase where I can read it over and over again. A definate keeper.

So far Liquid Dreams of Vampires is the best book about Vampires that I've ever read. Some of the stories are very erotic & informative. This is a book that you'll never forget!

I cannot believe that anyone could take this book seriously. Although I knew the author to be associated with other scholarly works in this vein, I quickly noted that the styles of the various writers and correspondents had major similarities--indicating that these documents were either heavily edited or simply made up. Has no one else noticed this?
