Synopsis

Vampires exist. And in every culture with a legend about these bloodsuckers, there are rules and rituals for how to destroy them. How to Kill a Vampire is the first book to focus on all known ways to prevent vampirism, protect oneself against attacks and ultimately how to destroy the undead - as documented in folklore as well as film, TV and fiction. It explains the origins and uses of common tactics but also goes deeper, collecting historical accounts and shocking superstitions. Surprisingly funny, How to Kill a Vampire divulges just what strikes fear into an immortal's heart.
