4.0 out of 5 stars
Childish cover, adult content
Despite the childish cover, this book is an intelligent and entertaining assessment of the evolution of the literary vampire. Combining a short stories with essays and a lengthy introduction this book is invaluable to any fan of Gothic literature.

Vampyres Unite!!,
By spideranansie (Singapore - Manchester) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vampyres: Lord Byron to Count Dracula (Paperback)
An interesting tracing of the historical and chronological development of the vampire in literature. It gives us an idea of Stoker's precedents and also his real place in the time line of vampire literature. Some extracts I found horribly funny, but an entertaining and informative read nonetheless. Good foundation for anyone interested in Gothic literature on anything on vampires.

This review is from: Vampyres: Lord Byron to Count Dracula (Paperback)
While the cover is a tad B-movie, the inside of the book is full of important crossroads, major information on all fictional vampires and their roots. The chapters tell all - Lighten Our Darkness, Lord Ruthven and His clan, The Tempestuous Loveliness of Terror, A Creature of Folklore, The Genesis of Dracula, Count Dracula, Haemosexuality. A must for any beginner and for any vampire library.
