Reviews
The bibliography is impressive, to say the least, and if scholars were taking up a study of vampire mythology, this would be the volume to start with for the invaluable list of sources alone...a treasure trove of fascinating and horrifying details...useful, well conceived, and a terrific source of bibliographic material. Bane has done mythology studies and popular culture a service." -Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts
