Written by the author of "The Original Ghost Walk Of Whitby - The Tour In A Book", the purpose of this volume is to give you enough information to become a potted expert on the subject of those who rise from their chilly tombs to drink the blood of living humans.A word of warning! Whilst I can fully appreciate the allure of vampires and their glamour, they are fundamentally very dirty, duplicitous and parasitic beings. People rarely dwell at length on how utterly vile and corrupt these creatures are. Having studied vampire history at some length, I can confidently say that one can be led to feel a trifle soiled by proxy. For some less fortunate individuals, the pursuit of knowledge concerning the undead, especially for those who wish to possess their powers, can constitute a recipe for insanity.Hopefully, this balanced and readable volume will shed some light on a dark subject without putting undue strain on your sanity.
