A Good Guide

This is a must have for Vampire fans, be they cultural, literary, historical, or film vampires. This book isn't a one stop book on vampire, but it's a good reference. It covers different kind of vampires in different culture, historical vampires, literary vampires (up to 1993), and vampires on film. This book doesn't even need to be for reference, I read it cover to cover.

An average rehashing of what has already been done

If you are looking for a "cliff notes" version of the vampire myth, then this is a pretty simple, easy to use book. For those just developing an interest in vampire legend and lore, it will offer a very general overview of the nature of the vampire legacy. However, true students of vampirism will quickly bore of this book, as it doesn't really offer anything new or groundbreaking. In fact, with a careful Google search, you can probably find the same info for free on the internet.

A Good Place To Start.

"The Vampire Encyclopedia" by Matthew Bunson is a good place to start with if you know little to nothing on vampires. I have been researching for over four years on vampires, so I really didn't find anything in here that I didn't all ready know.

the handbook for the newbies

if you are new to the world of vampyrism and vampyres, this is the perfect book for you. it is sleek and thin, but it has enough information compressed in it to keep you awake. this book is the gateway that will lead you to search for more vampiric texts. from this book, you can search as if it were a database of the most basic information. it's nothing too intense, you can't go vampire hunting with it, but it will make you a better deciple and apprentice.
