Free Book Friday: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Vampires

Not the usual paranormal fiction book but a must have for lovers of vampire lore, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Vampires is full of everything you have ever needed or wanted to know about vampires: from the rise of new vampire legends and heroes and the resurrection of the old ones, to vampire myths from around the world, the Goth and Vampire lifestyle, real vamps today, fun and campy vamps, vamps, zombies and other undead, all about Dracula, and other classic vampires in film and books.

I haven't read this book yet but it is in my pile, looks interesting. I love to read what others write about vampires. Seems everyone has a take on what vampires mean to us. Of course if I start this will be a long discourse and I have not the time so I'll save that for another day.

Anyway in addition to giving away The Complete Idiot's Guide to Vampires, I have another set of signed book cover postcards of Vicki Lewis Thompson's hex series. Each of the 3 postcards depicts the cover of one of the Hex books and on the back gives a quick blurb about the book...and each one is signed by Vicki Lewis Thompson. I also have a I brake for Big Knob bumper sticker and trading cards featuring George the Dragon and Dee Dee the Lake Monster from the Hex series.

In the goodie pack I also have a signed bookmark from Jenna Maclaine author of the fantastic Cin Craven series, a bookmark from Lynda Hilburn, and a signed postcard from me featuring one of my books.

Hope you enjoy.

  14. This book really looks like fun. I can remember staying up all night with my cousin, because we talked my Mom into taking us to see a vampire movie. And I can remember us trying to talk her into going to the same movie again. Please add me to the fun.

  17. I like books that have information that I might not have seen elsewhere. I also like idiot guides. They simplify a lot of things.

  22. This looks like something I HAVE to have on my research shelf. We all have our own take on vampires. Do they morph? Do they have hearts? Can they breathe? Can they go out in the sunlight (with spf 75, of course)? Would love to win this great prize.

    I've been gone for the past few weeks, and am frantically trying to catch up on emails when I saw the notice for this on ERW.
    Please enter me if it's not too late.

  24. Hey Susan! Did I tell you I enjoyed Delora's Necklace? I was so psyched to see the Mayan ruins after reading it and other 'prep' material like Untimely Partners. But the port was closed to us on account of the swine flu.
    Oh well, huh?!
