Revised, updated, and enlarged, this vast reference is an alphabetic tour of the psychosexual, macabre world of the blood-sucking undead. Digging deep into the lore, myths, and reported realities of vampires and vampire legends from across the globe, many facets are uncovered - historical, literary, mythological, biographical, and popular. From "Vlad the Impaler" and "Barnabas Collins" to "Dracula" and "Lestat", this exhaustive guide furnishes more than 500 essays, a vampire chronology, and 60 pages of vampire resources. Complete with detailed illustrations and photographs, the third edition of this popular authority includes a wealth of current events, including the "Twilight" phenomenon; contemporary authors of vampire romance; the growth and development of genuine, self-identified vampire communities; and, prominent TV shows from "Buffy" to "True Blood".| By: | J.
