Had to have!

Ok I admit, I'm a vampire nut. Love most things related to vampires (don't get me started on Twilight though! Not a fan!) I actually have the first edition and the second edition of the Vampire Book. I've read both editions. In fact I was almost done with the second edition when I discovered there was a third edition. I really like how each edition adds to and expands on the other editions. I've used things I've learned from these books in discussions/debates on all things vampire!! If you have an interest in vampires and would like to know where some of the beliefs and traditions come for, I highly recommend getting this book! Good source for the history/myths/legends behind vampires!!!
