Vampires stalk us from the shadows. They've been feeding on blood, our very life force, since before words were pressed into clay. But we are not unprotected. For as long as vampires have hunted us, there have been those who hunt them. This is a record, fragments of journals, letters and transcripts, collected to chronicle how vampires can be identified, how they are evolving, slaying strategies, and the threat they pose to humanity.
From Agamemnon to Edgar Allan Poe, Cape Canaveral to Kiribati, this Incomplete Record of Personal Accounts explains the appetites, habits and horrors of these creatures of the night. Testimonials have been gathered, organized, and passed on in a single book throughout history.
With stories from Gwendolyne Kiste and A.C. Wise, as well as LCW Allingham, George K. Angelou, Juno Crew, William J. Donahue, River Eno, Henry Herz, Mina Humiston, D.C. Kugtima, Camellia Landman, Carter Lappin, Caol¡n Mac an Aircinn, Hope Madden, TT Madden, Lee Meeder, A.R.C Mitra, Bill Mulligan, Nico Martinez Nocito, Toni Owen-Blue, Dale Parnell, and Johan Robertsson.
These incomplete records are now released to illuminate the darkness where evil thrives.
Industry Reviews
"Vampire Hunters surprised and delighted me. Beautifully researched, twisty and smart, Uncle Charles's preserved chronicles of vampire hunters, saints, outlaws, poseurs (and Poe!) span time from the siege of Troy to the clandestine horrors of present-day America. Clippings, drawings, and photos flesh out a panoply of adventures: a 16th-century German baron endures horrors on behalf of the Holy Roman Empire; Jews protect Ireland in the time of the Cossacks; a vampire at Cape Canaveral longs for space. Make no mis-stake; this book is filled with Tales of the Unexpected-ly amazing. Recommended 100%!"

"A beautifully macabre tour through fiction and folklore that will have you sharpening your stakes and thirsting for more."
- Vaughn A. Jackson, Author of Southern Cross
"Vampire Hunters was compiled in a way that made me feel as if I were reading a family's in-depth genealogy and history of time. My overall thought on this book is that I loved the concept."
-Vampire Librarian
"As someone already familiar with Speculation Publication's anthologies, I had high hopes for Vampire Hunters: An Incomplete Record of Personal Accounts-but even with those expectations, this collection blew me away. Vampire hunters are some of my favorite figures in fiction, and this anthology pays them the respect and mythic depth they deserve."
