This book explores the present situation of the vampires. It is a work that any reader or spectator of the great novels or movies of this genre would want to read sooner or later, as it rightly complements those highly successful novels (Twilight, New Moon, Interview with the Vampire) by exploring not only the history but also the present situation of the vampires. And it achieves this by drowning us in a host of chronicles that show how these "dark angels" are, their obsessions and desires, as close to the humans as their own nature.
Amidst these pages, you will also find chilling details about the occult rituals of vampirism, potions, poisons and their antidotes from the first accounts up to the present day, following the footsteps of Bram Stoker in the depths of Count Dracula's country, the most famous "blood drinker" of all times.
