Summary: Good starting place
Review: I do not know a thing about vampires so I can not say if this book was correct or not. However I enjoyed the pictures and the content of the book.

Summary: Interesting!
Review: I'm writing a book about vampires, and I used this book as a reference. It does a fantastic job of explaining the different types of vampire myths in different cultures as well as the literary and cinematic vampires. It is arranged in an A to Z fashion with cross references which makes easy to skim for pleasure or research.

Summary: Good read for a beginner
Review: The author has done quite a bit of research, but much of this information is already known if you are a vampire enthusiast. For more indepth information, the reader would need to go elsewhere.There are good photographs throughout which quality add a more "otherworldly" touch to the book through their color. It is a good introduction to the vampire.

Summary: Myths explained or just explored?
Review: This is a great book and I've actually purchased it twice! This is a must have for anyone interested in vampires and vampire myths. Telling the stories and investigations of vampires this book gives you a good insight on what is true or not, yet in the end wondering if vampires really do exist or if they have only been in our imaginations all along.

Summary: Good starting place
Review: This was a very good book, expecially for begining vampire fanatics. Many of the basics are here, including suggestions for futher reading, in novels at least. The pictures are great. The Countess Bathory part is not accurate, and the Vlad Dracula part isn't wholly accurate either. Don't use this as your only guide. This is really a good place to start, and the pictures in them selves are worth it.
