Vampires are a very popular topic for movies, TV shows, books, and general discussion right now. Vampireology: The True History of the Fallen Ones is a visually beautiful and interactive book that takes you on a journey of being a researcher in search of the truth of vampires.

Reading through a fair share of vampire books, I don't often come across ones that have actually done such immense amounts of research about vampires while also adding in an enjoyable story element to keep the reader entertained.

The book itself is a pleasant mixture of a scrapbook with pop-out elements. It is a very fun read - turning the pages you never know what you will get to play with next. A lock of a vampire's hair (said to protect those who possess it from all vampires), a dagger, a shard of a legendary sword, and the correspondence letters between Joshua and Magdalena.

Vampireology: The True History of the Fallen Ones is a fun treat for vampire lovers and those who enjoy a more unique reading experience. It is for ages 10+ and I have to agree that those interested in vampires ages 10 and up will certainly enjoy it.

* Thank you to the publisher of Vampireology, Candlewick Press for providing me with a copy of this book for the review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Another great addition to the Ology series!

Once you open the cover you can't help but get lost in the beauty of this epic world of the undead. The creators put so much effort into making Vampireology, that I am stunned with how much there is to explore and discover (there are even a few hidden laughs in there). On top of the splendor, there is a fantastic story that absolutely captivates you.

My daughter loves these books.
There's lots of interactivity in these books. It's not just printed words and pictures. There's pockets with trinkets and lots of stuff to explore and play with.

My daughter likes to read but I bet these books would be good for kids who don't like reading. There might be enough "cool things" inside the book to turn them on to reading.

These ology series are fantastic. My 13 year old son loves to read through them again and again. Disappointed the dagger wasn't something he could take out of the book. I was relieved.

My son was so excited to get this book. It came in a timely manner. It wasn't packaged well enough so it came with some damage on the spine from being placed in an envelope for mailing. We chose not to return it though --- the inside was fine.

i gave this to my daughter for xmas. shes 13. it was a hit. she loved it. she said "its very historic. it even mentioned vlad the impaler. also mentions shape shifters such as werewolves. it was a very good book".

I am so impressed and happy. I just received my book today. I ordered it 2 days ago, talk about fast service. I was hoping to get it before my long weekend, but was not expecting too. Amazon absolutely exceeded my expectations.

The book is fantastic. I love how big it is. It looks like its going to be quite the adventure going thru it and reading it. I'm at work and have skimmed through it, already it has become quite the distraction for myself and a few co-workers. I will update this review at then end of the weekend as I'm sure I will have finished it.

I bought this book for my 12 year old daughter for her birthday on Friday. She had the whole thing read that night! She loves it!!!!!!!

We couldn't be happier. Not really for a smaller kid, (like 7 yrs), but the book is in perfect condition. It is one we will have for many years to come...thanks so much!

My 14 year old daughter is a fan of all the ology books. She was not even aware that they had written one on vampires so she was very excited to receive this for Christmas. It is a very cool book just like the other ologies. I would recommend it for anyone.
