It's back and toothier than ever - The Pocket Essential Vampire Films.
Eight years on and The Pocket Essential Vampire Films has been totally revised, re-mixed and updated. Here's the puff:
Vampires: creatures of the night. They repel. They fascinate. They seduce. They drink human blood. They are dead yet they are alive. Vampire Films traces the vampire film from its beginnings to the present day, acknowledging on its way all the classics of vampire cinema from the original Nosferatu (1921) right up to 30 Days of Night (2007) and beyond. From saucy French vampires to hopping Chinese ones, from Hammer horrors to Hollywood blockbusters, whatever the reader's favourite bloodsucker they'll find it here.
"Laudably up-to-date (the Underworld frachise, 30 Days Of Night), this admirably sharp survey also introduced me for the first time to one Jean Rollin, 'the world's premier producer of vampire films over the last four decates,' including Requiem For A Vampire (1971), 'a lyrical blend of longing and brutal sexuality.' Must see."
