About the Author
Donald F. Glut is a writer, editor, film maker, and director, whose published work covers topics as varied as the history of the Jurassic period in his acclaimed book,
Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia, through science fiction films and novels including such stellar examples as the cult classic film, "Dinosaur Valley Girls," and the best selling novel,
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. In this non-fiction work, he turns his mind and pen to an exploration of the chronicles of vampires and their activities that have haunted mankind for thousands of years and which often serve as the historical basis for the literary and filmic revitalization of the horror genre, particularly those featuring, in the words of Lugosi, the children of the night. If you find this book appealing, youll find the Mr. Gluts companion title,
True Vampires of History, equally fascinating.
