This is a thesis written about how, if vampires like the legends existed, they would survive in today's society. It covers biology of vampires, legends, and discussions of "real-life" vampires such as Elizabeth Bathory and Bela Kiss.
It also discusses how to create a vampire, both in folklore and also in real life, how to kill a vampire, and how a vampire procreates.
Throughout the entire book, she keeps going back to Bram Stoker's Dracula and Ann Rice's vampire series about her famous vampires: Lestat, Louis and Armand. She does well to tie them into the book and what she is covering in that section.
If you are interested in vampire folklore or just science and biology, this book is an awesome read. It gets a little redundant at times, and I would have liked to have more varied descriptions of the famous vampires, but all in all it's pretty good. I've read this book several times and I enjoyed it immensely.
Next reviews are going to be short ones of "Uncle Johns Bathroom Reader: Dog Lovers and Cat Lovers." I am also reading "Ghost Files", a bunch of stories and stuff from www.ghostvillage.com.
I will do these reviews when I get more time.
