Exploring the slaying of vampires in folklore, history, books, and movies, this book takes a pop culture tone to it's discussion and tends to focus on the most popular and well known vampire tales, including Dracula, Nosferatu, Lost Boys, and other well known versions. While the book did teach me some new things, such as historical accounts of vampire killings (mostly just the mutilating of corpses) and the fact that sunlight was only introduced as a weapon in the movies, I feel this is an entry level book. I personally would have preferred a more in-depth look at vampire mythology and the weapons used to destroy the creatures. ( ) A book about vampires and their slayers from history, film, and novels. A good place to start researching vampires in pop culture with a decent selected filmography in the back. Not extensive, but a good start. The book is exactly what it advertises.

Vampires exist. And in every culture with a legend about these bloodsuckers, there are rules and rituals for how to destroy them. How to Kill a Vampire is the first book to focus on all known ways to prevent vampirism, protect oneself against attacks and ultimately how to destroy the undead - as documented in folklore as well as film, TV and fiction. It explains the origins and uses of common tactics but also goes deeper, collecting historical accounts and shocking superstitions. Surprisingly funny, How to Kill a Vampire divulges just what strikes fear into an immortal's heart. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
