The Vampire Survival Guide: How to Fight, and Win, Against the Undead

by Scott Bowen

Vampires have walked among us for thousands of years. These reanimated corpses survive by draining and consuming the blood of the living, and their threat to humanity cannot be ignored. Throughout the centuries, professors and peasants have offered their own vampire-fighting tips, but these were often old wives' tales, based more on superstition than on fact. Here, for the first time, is a comprehensive vampire-fighting guide for the twenty-first century. In the tradition of bestsellers like The Zombie Survival Guide and The Zen of Zombie, The Vampire Survival Guide covers everything you need to know to protect yourself from vampires. Topics include the habits and routines of vampires, how to tell if somebody you know has become a vampire, how to protect yourself from attack, how to set traps, what to do if you must fight off multiple vampires, how to cleanse an entire town after devastating vampiric attacks, and much more. It confronts head-on the most terrifying situation of all--that of being bitten by a vampire--by providing the reader with numerous approaches, rooted in both science and medicine and religion, for fighting off blood-suckers before it is too late. Vampires are found in every country in the world--not just in Eastern Europe and Sunnydale, California. With the human population expected to reach over 9 billion by the year 2050, confrontations between men, women, children, and vampires are increasingly inevitable. This guide is the human race's best hope.… (more)

This was an entertaining read. It was cute, spoofy, tied into today's popular culture. But I think part of me is a bit disappointed. Vampire myth is so broad....but some of the basics I just appreciate. A stake in the heart and a beheading and throwing them out into sunlight. It's just the way I appreciate my Vampires.... and I think this little 'survival' guide missed out by not using them all to their fullest potential. It could have made the weapons and training sections far more in depth and out there. ( )
