	"The Complete Book of Vampires" By Leonard R. N. Ashley, 1998 "The vampire is truly a deathless figure. The torch of centuries-old vampire mythology continues to burn today in the form of popular fiction, film, and television. This installment in Dr. Ashley's acclaimed series on the occult is possibly the most comprehensive book on one of the world's oldest and most terrifying legends. Dr. Ashley's work covers everything from Bram Stoker's Dracula to TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This book provides insight into the role of the vampire in history, literature, and folklore, as well as serving as an anthology of hard-to-find vampire tales. This book proves that the vampire myth contains many truths about our society today, while fusing academic and popular research in Dr. Ashley's provocative style. The Complete Book of Vampires unearths a broad portrait of the vampire's place in our culture." (From Amazon.com)

	Children of the Night By Tony Thorne, 2000 "This study of the many manifestations of the vampire myth from Beowulf to Buffy explores what it has signified for every culture in which it is found. A large section is devoted to the "Real Vampires" flourishing largely in the US, but also present in the UK, Australia and on the Internet. The author finds the members of this secretive subculture, who feed on each other's blood to be a fascinating intersection between fantasy and reality. He also regards them as harmless and asks whether it's actually possible to be subversive in our postmodern society. He argues that the vampire myth has so saturated our culture as to be tamed by entering the fabric of everyday life - and there, being reborn." (From Amazon.co.uk)
