Since vampires are still one of the most popular monsters in film and television history, it is only natural for more books to continue to come out about them. But this new 2-volume set from BearManor Media, 100 Vampires on Screen by Simon Bacon, it seems a bit different than your average reference book. As it states in the book’s description, it “covers the history of vampires on film and television”, but here is where it gets different. It seems that it is told from the vampire’s perspective, which honestly sounds like it could be interesting, but is this just a fictional perspective from the author based on the character info from the film? I have to say, I am curious about this. And the fact that I’m a slightly obsessive horror reference book collector.

Volume 1, which covers A through J, is 336 pages long and runs $38 for a hardcover edition, while the softcover is $28. Volume 2, which then covers K through Z, is 338 pages, and run $ 39 for the hardcover edition and $29 for the softcover edition.

The book also features interviews with over 30 people involved in these films, either as directors, writers, or actors, including Jim Wynorski, Henry Rollins, James Woods, Neil Jordan, Debbie Rochon, and Leonor Varella, to name a few.

I’m sure at some point, these will be the Kryptic Library, so we’ll make sure we post our thoughts when that does happen. In the meantime, you can find out all the information and order your own copies from BearManor Media HERE.
