Although the word "vampire" was not introduced until the eighteenth century, variations of this hemo-craving creature have existed since long before the Christian era. Almost every civilization had a demon or spiritoften a god or goddesswhose bloodlust complicated things for the general populace. But sometimes its not all about the blood. Modern vampire tales have stronger-willed and less traditional beings at their core: beings who strive to coexist with mortals by drinking synthetic blood, like True Bloods Bill Compton, or who sparkle in the daylight instead of disintegrating, like Twilights Edward Cullen. Plus, these guys are way easier on the eyes than the more old-school vampires out there, especially filmmaker F. W. Murnaus infamous Nosferatu, a terrifying vampire in dire need of a manicure.

Regardless of time, place, and blood type, Laura Enright cordially invites you into the dark underworld of the vampire. She sheds light (but not too much) on this captivating, age-defying creature by exploring topics ranging from the powers it can possess to what will kill itfor good. With close to thirty top-ten lists brimming with gore and fang-tastic facts, Vampires Most Wanted™ is sure to provide the reader with a biting good time.
