Bite: A Vampire Handbook
Kevin Jackson
Published 2009 - 199 pages
Summary (from the book jacket)
Arm yourself with garlic, stake and crucifix, for the vampires are back in force — at the top of the bestseller lists, on your TV, on the web, and lurking in darkened cinemas. But, where did they come from? Why have they come back now? And how can you tell if you are one?
Beginning with the first sightings of bats and blood-sucking in the Romantic period, Bite follows the undead’s progress through the ages, right up to the twilit present. Alongside gory anecdotes, facts, and figures, each section is punctuated with lists, such as the best places around the world for vampire tourism; the box-office top ten films with fangs; famous vampire manifestations in books, comics, ballets and breakfast cereals; as well as the most reliable and unreliable methods for vampire detection and disposal
