More About the Author

I work fulltime investigating and writing about all things paranormal, which means I lead a most unusual and highly adventurous life. I have written more than 45 books, including single-volume encyclopedias, on a variety of topics, A-Z, angels to zombies and everything in between. I'm interested in the entire spectrum of the paranormal, for everything fits together. I go off in the field to investigate reports of ghosts, UFOs, aliens, ultraterrestrials, Shadow People, Bigfoot, mysterious creatures, Djinn, demons, angels, fairies and more. I am frequently out on the road, and I've had plenty of first-hand experiences of many of the things I document in my books. My work is part of my spiritual journey; probing into the Unknown, the Other Side, and other dimensions is my search for Truth.

5.0 out of 5 stars very entertaining--a great read!, May 24, 1999

This review is from: VAMPIRES AMONG US (Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book and hard a hard time putting it down. The stories are great and Ms. Guiley is a good story-teller. There are some strange people out there, and this book is an interesting look at them. Plus, I learned a lot about vampire folklore, which was really fascinating. Well-written, fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars it's a fairly good book., November 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: VAMPIRES AMONG US (Paperback)

Vampires Among Us had a romantic quality to it which the person who wrote a review for it previous ot mine didn't seem to comprehend. Let me also point out that almost anything melodramatic can be made to sound foolish. Think about it - the line "Oh Romeo o Romeo where for art thou Romeo" sounds utterly rediculous when spoken alone. However, Romeo and Juliet is a time-honored tragedy.

Vampires Among Us was written in a factual if slightly dramatic voice - however, the intensity of the writing was probably necessary to make something that sounds like such a foolish thing into an alternate reality.

Let me start by saying that my rating of this book has nothing to do with how it is written. It is, in my opinion, a rather well written documentary-styled work of narrative nonfiction. I first read this book roughly 15 years ago, and reread it just recently. I enjoyed it both times.

That being said, Guiley REALLY needs to update this particular work in a new edition...or at least publish some sort of an updated follow up of some kind. A lot of the info is far too dated, especially considering how perceptions of vampires have DRASTICALLY changed in just the last 5 years.

Like I said ... this is NOT a BAD book ... in fact, I would recommend it ... I just feel that it the content is too out of date to receive more than 3 stars.
