[My work is never done · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an Awesome Book with insights not only into the various Vampire Species but also others sorts of Monsters and Demons and he even mentions a few Creatures that may actually exist in real life (Cryptids) so I would recomend this Book to anyone who likes reading about the Supernatural,likes History and Ancient Cultures, and also is into Horror and the Ocult, an awesome Book!

[Desiree Kern · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not exactly entertaining reading, but it is interesting to read about vampire and campire-esque creatures from different parts of the world. Mostly just read it for inspiration for art for my next couple shows. I have 4 coming up this year, possibly more, and so far none of them with the same theme/genre.

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really like this book so far because it explains alot about the mythology behind each species of vampire and/or mythical creature, it also covers some cryptids. Very good addition for any supernatural-lovers library
