The Transylvanian Library: A Consumer's Guide to Vampire Fiction - Borgo Literary Guides Number Eight

264 Pages Indexed. Top cover corner has a tape repair to correct a crease. No other defects noted and interior text pages are flawless. Welcome to the Transylvanian Library, the only bibliotheca that opens only at night. Do you like vampires? If not, you're in the wrong place. This entire Library has been given over to open graves, swooping bats, mysterious throat wounds, and unholy thirsts. We're talking about nosferatu here, the blood-suckers, the Undead. There may be a werewolf or two lurking about but not unless they have been accompanied here by someone with a black cape or long canines. This Library is for vampires only-and for the mortal authors who have created them. Laura Ingalls Wilder is nowhere to be found here! It should be easy for you to find your way about. There is a chronological listing of over two hundred writers, all of whom have penned novels or short stories with vampiric content. Under each author's name, you'll find a discussion of their work, including: plot details, a critical evaluation, the original publisher, an approximate page count, notes on movie and TV adaptations, plus some attempt to place each tale within the ongoing history and evolution of the fictional vampire. Every entry will provide a feel for what each story is like. You may then choose which you may-or may not-wish to read. Not all the books described are still in print, but everyone can still be found in libraries, used book stores, etc. Author and Title Indexes have also been provided.…
