COPY ISBN
Gr 7-Up In this visually appealing guide, readers learn the secrets of the world of vampires, their behavior, necessary etiquette, and the possible hazards facing them. The table of contents breaks the information into three distinct segments: "Leaving the Mortal Realm," "Living the Undead Lifestyle," and "Armchair Vampire." Each segment begins with a quiz to test readers' persona, style, and knowledge of the undead. The book then discusses types of vampires, with each one illustrated, how to be turned, how to feed, forming covens, dressing the part, travel hot spots, famous real-life vampires, and the vampire in film and literature. The striking art, including many full-page, full-color photos, along with the captivating layout and design, sets an eerie tone. A true temptation for all who love vampires and the supernatural."Donna Rosenblum, Floral Park Memorial High School, NY" Copyright 2010 Media Source Inc.
This tongue-in-cheek how-to for the newly undead (or vampire wannabes) includes quizes ("What's Your Vampire Persona?" "Vampitectural Digest: What's Your Style?"), fashion and feeding tips, dating advice, etc. Blood-soaked movie stills, photographs, and digitally enhanced images enhance the presentation. There's much more style than substance here, but fans of Twilight and the like won't mind. Glos., ind.
