Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A vampiric version of "Schott's...", with mini essays, anecdotes, facts and figures, lists, myths and manifestations, for all fans of ghoulish trivia. Thanks to Meyer's "Twilight" series, vampires are rising in popularity, with films due for release in 2009, a sequel to "Dracula" written by Bram's descendent, and a new series on TV.

This title includes sections with lists, such as the best places around the world for vamp tourism; rock songs with vampire allusions; and, box-office revenues for vamp movies.
