Our fascination with the vampire myth has scarcely diminished since Bram Stoker’s publication of the classic Dracula tale in 1897, but how much of the lore is based in fact and can science explain the origins of horror’s most famous fiend? Vampirology charts the murky waters of the vampire myth – from stories found in many cultures across the globe to our sympathetic pop-culture renditions today – to investigate how a scientific interpretation may shed light on the fears and phenomena of the vampire myth.

Steve Lehman has come across the find of a lifetime: a pair of vampire teeth. After ascertaining that his find is genuine, Steve goes about testing various vampire lore to discover what is fact and what is fiction. Through scientific tests, Steve creates a scientific journal with information confirming many vampire myths, dispelling others, and introducing new information about vampires as well. Throughout the testing process however, the vampires want to recover the teeth from Steve or see him dead; either will suffice. This is a conitnuation of the storyline from The Vampire Collector, which was reviewed as "Vampires for intellectuals."

The frenzy for all things vampire shows no signs of abating, and with sales of over 1 million Ologies in Australia to date, the phenomenon will be taken to new markets with the launch of the Nintendo editions of Dragonology, followed by Wizardology and Pirateology.

This in-depth study and intellectual investigative research reveal that there exists a meagre minority of vampires who resume their former life after their death, who do not entertain an insatiable psychosexual bloodlust but have merely returned to their former life rather incognito in order to fulfil or achieve a certain valid purpose. Such vampires are quite harmless and gather an altogether different nomenclature as "Real Revenants" which denotes the individuals who have returned to their former lives for the fulfilment of some valid purpose. These Revenants, it is discovered, belong to two categories and the writer has identified them as (1) Avengers and (2) Achievers, in terms of their purpose of resuming their former life. The Avengers' second lease of life consists of quite a shorter period, perhaps even a period of less than six months, within which time-span their mission has to be accomplished whereas that of the Achievers' is rather long perhaps, even equal to their former life-span. The Avengers' sole purpose of resuming their former life is to avenge or wreck vengeance on the perpetrators of crime who were responsible for their untimely murders in their previous life. When they find that proper justice is not meted out or cannot be meted out to these perpetrators of crime in the normal course of administration of justice or if there is a miscarriage of justice in whatever form, they come back to their former life and somehow or other surreptitiously bring about the demise of the culprits. Once their mission is accomplished, as there is no further purpose of living anymore, these Avengers simply wither away leaving no traces of their existence. Nonetheless, the Achievers' coming back to their former life is rather different; they are those who meet with their death unexpectedly and untimely; they have reluctantly left behind many important incomplete tasks, duties and obligations, or even unfulfilled agendas. Thus, invariably they return to their former life for the mere purpose of completing those tasks, duties and obligations. However, they preserve their present existence as a safely guarded secret even without disclosing it to their loved ones, lest they would be considered as avatars, apparitions or ghosts and naturally become tainted with the inevitable social odium and stigma from the society. The writer's in-depth research has elicited well-documented and reliable information in regard to both Avengers and Achievers belonging to the Revenant category that happened to be historically authenticated personalities as well as currently living true personalities living among the society at large rather incognito.

An authoritative new history of the vampire, two hundred years after it first appeared on the literary scene Published to mark the bicentenary of John Polidori’s publication of The Vampyre, Nick Groom’s detailed new account illuminates the complex history of the iconic creature. The vampire first came to public prominence in the early eighteenth century, when Enlightenment science collided with Eastern European folklore and apparently verified outbreaks of vampirism, capturing the attention of medical researchers, political commentators, social theorists, theologians, and philosophers. Groom accordingly traces the vampire from its role as a monster embodying humankind’s fears, to that of an unlikely hero for the marginalized and excluded in the twenty-first century. Drawing on literary and artistic representations, as well as medical, forensic, empirical, and sociopolitical perspectives, this rich and eerie history presents the vampire as a strikingly complex being that has been used to express the traumas and contradictions of the human condition.
