Steve Lehman has come across the find of a lifetime: a pair of vampire teeth. After ascertaining that his find is genuine, Steve goes about testing various vampire lore to discover what is fact and what is fiction. Through scientific tests, Steve creates a scientific journal with information confirming many vampire myths, dispelling others, and introducing new information about vampires as well. Throughout the testing process however, the vampires want to recover the teeth from Steve or see him dead; either will suffice. This is a conitnuation of the storyline from The Vampire Collector, which was reviewed as "Vampires for intellectuals."

An A to Z of the Undead
An authoritative new history of the vampire, two hundred years after it first appeared on the literary scene Published to mark the bicentenary of John Polidori’s publication of The Vampyre, Nick Groom’s detailed new account illuminates the complex history of the iconic creature. The vampire first came to public prominence in the early eighteenth century, when Enlightenment science collided with Eastern European folklore and apparently verified outbreaks of vampirism, capturing the attention of medical researchers, political commentators, social theorists, theologians, and philosophers. Groom accordingly traces the vampire from its role as a monster embodying humankind’s fears, to that of an unlikely hero for the marginalized and excluded in the twenty-first century. Drawing on literary and artistic representations, as well as medical, forensic, empirical, and sociopolitical perspectives, this rich and eerie history presents the vampire as a strikingly complex being that has been used to express the traumas and contradictions of the human condition.
This encyclopedic and exquisitely eerie guide is as elegant and menacing as the creature it describes. With nearly 200 photographs and illustrations, this entertaining and erudite collection of myth, folklore, literature and popular culture is seductively priced in its new paperback edition.
