This book, about real vampires and the communities they have formed, explores the modern world of vampirism in all its amazing variety. Long before Dracula, people were fascinated by vampires. The interest has continued in more recent times with Anne Rice's Lestat novels, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the HBO series True Blood, and the immensely popular Twilight. But vampires are not just the stuff of folklore and fiction. Based upon extensive interviews with members of the Atlanta Vampire Alliance and others within vampire communities throughout the United States, this fascinating book looks at the details of real vampire life and the many expressions of vampirism as it now exists. In Vampires Today: The Truth about Modern Vampirism, Joseph Laycock argues that today's vampires are best understood as an identity group, and that vampirism has caused a profound change in how individuals choose to define themselves. As vampires come "out of the coffin," as followers of a "religion" or "lifestyle" or as people biologically distinct from other humans, their confrontation with mainstream society will raise questions, as it does here, about how we define "normal" and what it means to be human.

Theres a very clear line from Bram Stokers Dracula to the glut of vampire stories available in bookstores today. However, tales of bloodsucking creatures predate Dracula and exist in the mythology of many cultures. Covering the history of the vampire myth as well as how its used today, the main content engages even reluctant readers with a high-interest topic. Full-color photographs and other images of vampires through the ages show how the depiction of this chilling creature has changed over time. Additional fact boxes add a dose of reality to a tale thats so well known, it sometimes feels like it could be true!
