Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - book
bought for a friend who was writing a book, and they couldnt get the book in London. I purchased and mailed to them, I trust they god the use they required from the book.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - An average rehashing of what has already been done
If you are looking for a "cliff notes" version of the vampire myth, then this is a pretty simple, easy to use book. For those just developing an interest in vampire legend and lore, it will offer a very general overview of the nature of the vampire legacy. However, true students of vampirism will quickly bore of this book, as it doesn't really offer anything new or groundbreaking. In fact, with a careful Google search, you can probably find the same info for free on the internet.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - the handbook for the newbies
if you are new to the world of vampyrism and vampyres, this is the perfect book for you. it is sleek and thin, but it has enough information compressed in it to keep you awake. this book is the gateway that will lead you to search for more vampiric texts. from this book, you can search as if it were a database of the most basic information. it's nothing too intense, you can't go vampire hunting with it, but it will make you a better deciple and apprentice.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - A Not So Detailed Guide...
I have read this book from cover to cover, and while it does give a brief explanation of quite a few things vampire related, it is far from complete. This is a bore to read through although it is a somewhat handy vampire reference guide. If you are looking for minimal detail This would be the guide for you.

If you are looking for something more in depth, I would suggest the Vampire Book. It has many more entries and although it is quite thick, is very enjoyable to read. Not to mention it has more knowledge about vampires than you could ever ask for [in one place].
