Awesome! I got this book back in the early 90's so by today's standard it may be considered a bit out-dated. This does not make this book worth any less though! It's a very exhaustive encyclopaedia in terms of history (European, Asian, etc), myth & legend, movies, boooks, and so forth. It would be really, really nice to see a revised up-to-date edition, that also takes other media into consideration, such as music, games and the internet, in addition to what has been released since its original release. But this edition still remains a must-have for anyone who is interested in learning more of where the vampire myth comes form, what makes it fascinating, and so forth. This book is definitely a serious addition to anyone who's interested in all-things vampire!
I love Dick Van Dyke. He is great commedienne and song and dance man, but an OK writer. While it was interesting to hear about his journey in show business, it was written as matter of fact.
