If you are totally immersed in the whole vampire culture, this will not hold much interest.The vampire world is in crisis – their kind have been proliferating out of control and, thanks to technologies undreamed of in previous centuries, they can communicate as never before. If you are very familiar with the lores, legends and mythology of the vampire there will be some interesting items in here. If you are a newbie to the vampire legacy this is a very good read for you. There were others mentioned such as: Gary Oldman, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Wesley Snipes, Gerard Butler (yum). They even mentioned actors who are in 'The Vampire Hall of Fame' of course they named the trifecta of Dracula portrayals: Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing. They discussed different depictions of the the vampire in film some comedic, mostly serious interpretations. She is credited with 'humanizing' the vampire. Interesting things that I did not know: in the late 70's an author by the name of Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's Hotel Transylvania series. They were very thorough about listing some vampire novels, films, and TV shows. They did elaborate on some of the early literary vampire novels and did go into some depth about their history.

They did go into some of the legends of the 'undead' and there were some interesting tidbits. It was interesting but, not mind blowing. I thought this was going to be a mind-blowing read about the history of vampires in our culture.
