 Rating:  - great bookI have studied alot about vampires and this book is a great book on vampires it covers alot of true information about modern vamps and the past and theories came to be about them. it also is not a book saying this is the whole truth and only truth. it shows both sides of how it could be true and not true. the only thing i disliked is it only focused on the negative side of psychic vampires not all psychic vampires are bad like he portrays but its still an amazing read. i highly recommend it. Rating: - If You're Anemic, Don't Blame A VampireKonstantinos' book drips with mystery and that's only the beginning of what makes "Vampires The Occult Truth" a definitely spooky but worthwhile read. It's written well enough for a blob of cells to understand it. With so many different types of vampires just hanging from the rafters, waiting to attack (Konstantinos talks about human bloodsuckers, undead stalkers of the night, sexual vampires and those who work like a plethora of germs -- just waiting to invade and infect the unsuspecting psyche) the well-skilled Konstantinos engorges his reader. If anything makes you feel vulnerable or anemic, it's because (in the first chapter or two) the author has a frustrating habit of teasing, like a news anchor, about fearsome information to come. Eventually, you'll get there if you can be patient as a vampire's casket and either wait until dawn when the sun is out and your beast comes home to haunt (you also might want to wait until morning when it's light enough outside that you are no longer terrified to read further, after absorbing all those scary promises of what is to come along) or else you might skip the first couple of chapters altogether and hungrily dive into the guts of this book, where the pages can be devoured as YOUR willing victim. The reader's delay of pleasure is most evident the more immersed one gets in the book, because the longer one reads, the more one's heart begins to beat to the rhythm of the ancient vampire's that come alive through later pages. Yet there's more teasing to be had -- because just as one begins to believe that a certain fable could possibly be utterly and completely true, the author explains why commonsense and scientific logic would utterly disprove that idea; and the aged lore you just fantasized about actually having happened will have little to do with vampirism or metaphysical butchery at all! Depending on your vampire orientation - whether you WANT to believe in them or not - Konstantinos uses a LOT of commonsense and remains devoted to fact-finding -- his work could prove to be disappointing (or not). No strong or consistent evidence to prove that vampires exist will be given. Beginning with third-person accounts of various kinds of vampires, the later chapters offer more and more compelling information as stories are more intimately told in welcoming detail. At one point, letters from "modern day vampires" spill onto the pages. Reportedly, Konstantinos held out the promise of using pseudonyms for modern-day vampires -- instead of publishing Christian names (so the contributors could crawl out from the shadows of social restraint and vomit up their victims blood anonymously.) I liked the fact that Konstantinos describes every possible kind of vampire with the diligence of a headless horseman who's searching for his lost skull. He even presents Renfield's Syndrome, which is a real-life blood-sucking condition that becomes evident during early childhood. It's a description that will make you pay closer attention to whose playing with your kids (even if you will never be able to read about the disease on the web site for the Centers for Disease Control). Truly, RS conjures up a mental picture you'll soon want to forget - that of small children happily lapping blood from either their friend's or their own natural wounds. If you are interested in learning the "truth" about vampires . . . this is the book for you. If you are eager to feel frightened, you could choose to read a copy of this book while in a graveyard, at night, with only a flashlight for company. Either that, or you could forgo the cold damp ground and still experience a few of those goose bumps just by reading the book (in the comfort and warmth of your well-lit home)! In the final chapters, the author gives credible evidence to prove that psychic vampires do exist (to drain energy from the most unsuspecting human victims). Fortunately, the author does not leave you feeling so vulnerable to such, as he provides helpful hints for shielding oneself energetically and mentally from psychic predators. He also provides subtle directions that will help you get back to sleep (but still keep the light on). Rating:  - Kids stuff..This book is just for new fans of vampires. The information that konstantinos brings here is just hours of browsing in the web. Every single topic is on the web. He just going to save you hours of web searching,but the information is for begginers. I doubt of the knowledge of magic of Konstantinos.I gave the book 2 stars, just for the trouble of collect all the web pages and make a book with them. Rating: - EntertainingVery easy and interesting book to read but only for entertaining purposes couse it doesn't give much evidence for vampires existance. Contains mostly tales which cannot be proven in any way but I recomend it. This was good book.
