Questions & Comments
This is THE vampire encyclopedia, and I haven't seen another one with this much information. Bunson seems to have put together every scrap of vampire trivia he could, including everything from movies to ancient myths, literature to obscure history.The book is an encyclopedia with alphabetical entries for just about everything related to vampires movies, literature, theater, poetry and art from countless sources. The best part is the vampire mythology. We don't just get the garden-variety Draculaean bloodsuckers -- Bunson collects vampiric creatures from literally all across the world. Examples: the Phillipine aswang, the polecat-like bajang, psychic vampires, the Scottish fairy known as the baobhan-sith, the Arabic algul, the Chinese Hsi-hsue-kuei and Kuang-shi, the Ashanti obayifo, the sexually voracious gypsy mullo, the Albanian lugat, the Malaysian penanggalan, the Mexican tlaciques, and many many more. And just in case there is a single bloodstained stone left unturned, Bunson includes entries for just about everything connected to vampires -- countries where they are found, weaknesses, strengths, powers, victim types, rituals to prevent/stop vampirism (such as prone burials, holy items, certain woods), lifespans, animals, scientific names, plants, and pretty much anything else that is associated with vampires.
