Vampires: From Dracula to Twilight: The Complete Guide to Vampire Mythology by Charlotte Montague
5.0
I have had this book for about two years now and I've read it through just once but I've come back and read it as a vampire resource countless times. I was recommended the book from a friend who thought I'd like it, she was right. I love all the mythology being put together alongside cult vampire classics such as Dracula up to the Twilight and True Blood times. I took off the papery sleeve as soon as I got it home, I like the feel of the actual hardcover and especially with a front cover that shows the secrets it's about to reveal it has to taken off!
The research in the book is very extensive and doesn't just cover vampires but also steps into others like werewolves too. Obviously the majority of the book is about vampires and the book is so well laid out with pictures that this cannot fail to capture your imagination. It's a book that I've noticed when friends visit that they tend to pick it out of my books and have a look through, there is definitely something for everyone in here.
I really enjoyed the chapters about vampires on screen and also vampire influences in music. Again the pictures help to reel you in and this book becomes more than just a book about mythology. It's a book I will continue to go back to and if you're interested in vampires then you must have it. I know she has other books in this series and they are definitely going on my wish list. Christmas is coming and all that... yep I said it!
