Fleam: vampire book reviews

Non-Fiction

2000

THORNE, Tony--Children of the Night: of Vampires and Vampirism**
Thorough and interesting survey, particularly of real vampires (real modern people in the vampire subculture) marred by a lack of understanding of what real vampires are about--he concludes it is all about rebellion and bizarre behaviour for it's own sake.

1999

MELTON, J. Gordon--The Vampire Book**
Always interesting, occasionally accurate and three inches thick. Basically an encyclopedia Vampirica.

1975

COOPER, Basil--The Vampire: in Legend Fact and Art
Poor quality and now seriously out of date--but still the odd interesting anecdote.

undated

MARIGNY, Jean--Vampires: the World of the Undead**
Colorful little jewel of a book. Useful reference material in the back including a 1922--1992 filmography and suggestions for further reading.
