Dracula D'jour

This is the absolutely definitive book on vampires. I seldom comment about the index in a book but this is one that HAS to be talked about. Looking for a 14th century bloodsucker that only feeds on adolescent shepherds, wears orange Liederhosen, is invisible, and can be fought off by spinning counterclockwise while reciting the Hippocratic Oath? This is where to look.

What a terrific tool for anyone researching the subject.

Carpe Jugularum-Catch this one before daylight

This is a must-have for anyone either interested in the roots of the vampiric archetype or thinking of writing story that includes vampires or even a RPG.

The depth is just as deep as the breadth covered and that is saying a whole lot. It reaches back to the dawn of mankind and covers all the societies and subcultures touched by these legends up to the present day. Just one more thing I must add, the author has a wonderful knack for writing and manages to add a warm and witty style even to this very serious academic work.

A Writer's Source.

Any writer of fantasy or science fiction needs to own this volume. When writer's block hits, just open to any page to jump start your imagination. This is a valuable resource for any writer, but especially for those writing about vampires. I can't wait for the rest of the series.

Vamp Folklore.......Not Just For Halloween Anymore......

Theresa Bane does it again with this absolutely masterful work. The writing is clear and concise in spite of how daunting a task the research must have been. Whether you're a writer, looking for believable facts for your next bestseller, or simply a vampire folklore enthusiast, The Actual Factual Dracula will keep you spellbound from start to finish. This isn't just a book on folklore. It also gives you insight on the beliefs and fears of the various cultures mentioned. This reader would even go so far as to say that one looking up his/her heritage might find this to be additional information on one's background. And last but definitely not least, the text is complemented by the fantastic artwork of Theresa's husband, Glenn T. Bane. This book is a real treat......enjoy!!

Excellent experience through and through

Splendid research source! In depth and obviously deeply devoted to details without being overly wordy or difficult to understand. Cross referenced for ease of comparison. A MUST HAVE for any investigator or hunter!

reviews: page 1, 2

This is the first definitive catalogue of vampires that has been compiled in the past 300 years. Before Bram Stoker's Dracula, before Vlad the Impaler, the world lived in mortal fear of the undead rising from their graves to feed upon the living. In this book, vampirologist Theresa Bane reveals the actual, factual truth about these creatures from history, myth, and legend.
