The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

"I have good memories associated with finding an old tattered copy of this book in my library and sitting with it for hours on end. I think this book is great for the fact that it gives you the backgrounds on Vlad Dracul, the "historic Dracula", Lady Bathory and so forth. The first chapter or so of the book is indispensible for its coverage of the vampiric myth from ancient times through the spread of Christianity and its influence on the vampire's nature. Though certain things can be disputed in the book by some hard core historians, it's a great intro read on vampires, and for some just a good read on European cultural details during the times addressed."
