Booktopia Comments: A really great gift book if your teenager or near-teenager is in to vampires. The size of the book is 15 centimetres squared with a padded cover. The pictures are of the highest quality. Really scary and creepy! The book is in the form of a reference A to Z of all the types of vampires and associated terms. It also has a short history and a complete list of all the terms used for vampires around the world. Part two is all about how to deal with vampires including protecting yourself from vampires. Part 3 covers all the perilous creatures you will meet in the pursuit and company of vampires. Really great value! Probably suited to ages 8 to 13 but depending on the interest in vampires older teenagers will also enjoy.

No vampyre hunter should be without this the very handbook that Dr. Cornelius van Helsing himself carried with him on his fateful journey across Transylvania. Packed with details of all kinds of beasts of the night, can it help you more than it did him?

Goblins, golems and gorgons this indespensible guide to vampyres and other perilous creatures has all you need to know to identify and protect yourself against these dark and dangerous creatures.

Illustrated with photographs and drawings, this is the very book that Cornelius van Helsing carried with him across Transylvania. Republished to coincide with the publication of his journal, VAMPYRE, this edition comes complete with van Helsings own research and annotations and makes for a terrifying read. Dip in, if you dare!
