4.0 out of 5 stars Good read for a beginner, June 25, 2000
The author has done quite a bit of research, but much of this information is already known if you are a vampire enthusiast. For more indepth information, the reader would need to go elsewhere.

There are good photographs throughout which quality add a more "otherworldly" touch to the book through their color.

It is a good introduction to the vampire.

5.0 out of 5 stars This helped me a lot, August 6, 2000

MacGirl1985 (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
I'm writing a book about vampires, and I used this book as a reference. It does a fantastic job of explaining the different types of vampire myths in different cultures as well as the literary and cinematic vampires. It is arranged in an A to Z fashion with cross references which makes easy to skim for pleasure or research.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excelent begginners guide to vampires, December 22, 1998
By A Customer
The book went into great detail about the vampire and it's physical descriptions and characteristics.The book,also had, very nicely reaserched facts on the life of Vlad Dracul, as well as his son. The book, over all, was a very great information source on the creatures of the night. The reason that I gave this book four stars instead of five is because it was too much of an introduction and did not go into in depth detail .
