Dripping with facts, stories, lists and trivia, Bite is the only single, accessible book dedicated to the lore and gore, the enduring myths and the modern manifestations of vampires.
Where did vampires come from? Why are they so popular now? How can you tell if you are one? Beginning with the first sightings of blood-sucking in the Romantic period, Bite follows the undead’s progress through the ages, right up to the present.
Alongside mini essays, anecdotes, facts and figures, each section is punctuated with lists, such as:
• the world’s best vampire tourism sites
• songs with vampire allusions
• reliable (and unreliable) methods for killing a vampire
• box office takings for vampire movies.
