Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A book where the author interviews people around the world who believe they are vampires or encountered one in some way. Not bad overall, it includes an appendix of organizations and publications (you could probably find more on the internet) and it has a nice little bibliography section of fiction and non-fiction books on the subject. ( ) Biased, sensationalistic, and scattered, this is not one of the better books on the topic. It is interesting, but the author apparently went out of her way to showcase the most bizarre members of the subculture/community she could find, rather than portraying more typical individuals (which would have been far more revealing and informative). When writing about a subculture, selecting the most extreme examples is a very misleading way of documenting what it is really like. no reviews | add a review
