This sensational book is divided into five sections. The beginning few pages are Bram Stroker's Dracula classic novel expertly retold in comic book format. Then the reader is exposed to the V files where confidential files and correspondence between agent Ian Dotti, Sophia Smart and the Chief Officer of the Vampire Investigation Project are laid out for all to read. Ian Dotti is not the brightest of agents and sends back reports on blood sucking insects, birds and other creatures which Sophia Smart researches and presents archived photographic and detailed files of. This section of Informania Vampires is so well done that you can't help but learn about these various fascinating creatures. Section three of the book takes the reader into the mythology and history of vampirism so we know where it all began. Section four of the book is the author's opinion of the best 24 hours of Vampire films and television programs ever made.

Also in this section is information on items handy to have to prevent having your blood sucked by vampires and other blood suckers as well as how to dispose of unwanted creatures who like blood beverages.
