Another wheeze to part the gullible from their money! Vampires are cool, so why not issue a guide to finding them? As they’re legendary (unless you’re a delusional type, role-player or total psychopath), I wouldn’t recommend looking for them. Not that this book would help you; it is a basic run-down of vampires in myth and legend, with a couple of bizarre chapters on how ethical vampires feed using their tendrils to absorb electromagnetic energy, plus some alleged abilities and weaknesses. A chapter “Am I a vampire?” avoids the obvious answer and blathers on about networks, websites and the like.
I can see no reason to buy this book, but it will sell because it has ‘vampire’ in the title. The chapter which describes vampire children in terms almost identical to the typical teenage vampire wannabe, could make some take the book seriously enough to adopt a vampire persona. So look out for pasty-faced teens waving their tendrils at you.
