[David Smither · Rating 4 out of 5]

A decent book, suitable for middle schoolers and 5th graders (though let's be honest, some younger kids will love reading it too). Mentions scientific developments that explain many vampire legends.
Unique feature: Very old vampire stories.
Genre: Informational (Real genre: Fantasy/Monster Guides)

This book was neat because it showed how developements in science and technology have proven vampires to be false as well as showing the effect of these interesting bloood suckers in our culture.
