No current Talk conversations about this book. great photos and illustrations ( ) Collection of vampire folklore, myths and legends from a variety of world cultures, along with some interesting historical papers purporting to document encounters with the real thing. Lots of photographs, drawings and other artwork. The particular conceit of this book is that all information is presented as if it were true, and that the book itself serves as a "Peterson's guide" to the vampire, with tips on cultivating relationships with vampires as well as providing the "facts" necessary to foil them: how to identify, elude, and avoid, as well as how to kill. Fun, and beautifully illustrated. This book isn't inspired, or original. And that's alright. Those thick, glossy pages with all the pictures and artwork make great collaging material. Honestly, it isn't good for much else. Tries to give an overview of all things vampire. Naturally, given that it covers folklore, history, and pop culture, it only skims the surface of each.
