Children’s Fantasy book about vampires that contains a specific picture and was written as an encyclopaedia. Published late 1970s/early 1980s.

Hi

I’m looking for a book that was published in the UK in the late 1970s - early 1980s. Out scared the life out of me as a kid and I’d love to find it now.

There was a picture of a grey or black skinned vampire that had a very round/ oval head. It was bald and had shiny leather like skin (not a typical human-type vampire). It had its wide mouth open and had two rows of small, sharp teeth. I think it was looking into a house window and was seen from the point of view of an inhabitant looking out the window. It looked like a scary version of Zippy from the Rainbow TV programme.

I think the book was written as a sort of encyclopaedia: seemingly non-fiction. It was similar to the Usborne books like “Vampires, Ghosts, and Mysterious Powers” and “Vampires, Werewolves, and Demons”; however, I don’t think it was by Usborne. I think the book was square, black, and has a picture of a vampire on the front.

Any help would be amazing!
