Loading... The Vampire Book: The Encyclopedia of the Undead (1994)by J. Gordon Melton
None. This is a fascinating look at all things vampire. Whether you're interested in the folk stories behind vampire, the most popular (pre-Twilight) vampire books/movies/television shows this is a great resource to have. (  ) benuathanasia | Sep 5, 2012 |  Found in Beijing at Bookworm library (http://www.beijingbookworm.com/) and read drinkin' a lot of american (bad)coffee ^_^ (  ) vanlilith | Jul 25, 2012 | Amazingly complete reference. Includes entries that go beyond vampires to general folklore. Recommended to those whose interest in vampires might be more minimal, since the breadth of the text goes beyond the undead. (  ) allanr | Aug 16, 2007 | I love, love, love, love, love this book! It has absolutely anything and everything about vampires and related topics that anyone would ever need to know about! It includes legend, mythology, and folklore, as well as movies, and books that include vampires in them. Wonderful book to own for anyone who's obsessed with vampires! ( ) FantasyFreak | Mar 25, 2007 | Extremely thorough and expansive in terms of looking at the vampire as a literary, cinematic, mythological and cultural phenomenon--you'll find entries on everything from fan clubs to breakfast cereals, as well as how various cultures (Germany, India, China, etc.) interpret the vampire. One drawback: since the book was published in 1998, it misses out on internet culture; a revised/updated edition would be a fun read. ( )1  cleolinda | Dec 30, 2006 | no reviews | add a review
