Contest for BITE: A VAMPIRE HANDBOOK

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:16:42 +0000

House of Anansi Press just released Bite: A Vampire Handbook by Kevin Jackson.� According to Bite ‘s back cover, “Dripping with facts, stories, lists, and trivia, Bite is the indispensable guide to the world of the vampire.”� Chapter titles include “Vampire Lore and Gore,” “Prints of Darkness, c.1920 to c.1980,” and “The Shape of Fangs to Come,” and the author has provided maps of “The World of the Vampire” and “Dracula’s England.” I have several vampire reference books in my home library, and what sets this one apart is its incorporation of non-vampire entertainment to show the evolution of the vampire myth. For example, Jackson quotes a passage from Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre to demonstrate pre- D racula perceptions of vampires in Victorian England. Bite also gives forgotten vampire novels such as Simon Raven’s Doctors Wear Scarlet their time in the spotlight–which is fantastic for readers looking to expand their literary horizons.� The same goes for film (how many people remember 1970′s Valerie and Her Week of Wonders ?).
