Reviews

[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yes, I also enjoyed this one and am glad that I came across the full series of the author on Tales of Horror. Inside you'll see the way of the vampire, dealing with vampire, vampire in history, the question if it is fact or fiction, vampire novels, movie and tv vampires. Together with many dark pictures and illustrations a very good volume. Really recommended!

Basic knowledge about vampires that let you illuminated and ready to dig more tales about the creatures of the night.

Recommended to every vampires' fan who don't know where to begin.

Warring: scary photos that haunted me for nights even if I am 24 but still scared.
