The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

These are not fictional tales, but expert investigations of real people who were thought by their neighbors and others to be vampires— often with good reason. The author also provides background on Vlad the Impaler (the original Dracula) and other European members of this unholy clan, based on extensive on-site research in Romania and environs. He treats readers to a survey of movie and TV treatments of vampires, as well as discussions of what habits and diseases might cause a person to be thought to be an evil immortal—and some of the rituals humans have undertaken to rid themselves of these creatures. Vampires of New England includes 30 illustrations, including maps, photos, sketches, and news clippings. This is a completely updated edition of The Vampire Hunter's Guide to New England, including materials from Rhondina’s out-of- print title Vampire Legends of Rhode Island and many previously unpublished illustrations.
