Demystifiying the vampire

I am a devout follower of the occult in truth not fantasy. This book was a great read! It is very to the point without the usual formal style of conventional book writing. It is as if Konstantinos was with me discussing the topic at hand on a one on one basis. (Most books on the occult go on overload with description, a personal view point and a high conventional reading level that inadvertently discourages the reader---not K) This book is researched thoroughly, sticks to the topic chapter by chapter and demystifies the folklore, legend and truth on the subject. There is something in the pages for everyone such as myself the advanced occultist, or those of the mundane.

Occult Lover's Delight

I have read many non-fiction books about vampires, and this is by far the best. Konstantinos gives you a look back at the history of vampires and gives you an idea of what to believe. The greatest part of this book is in the chapter where the author reveals letters he has received from alleged vampires. According to one anonymous vampire, "We are real, we are many, we are forever....". That is my favorite quote from the book. He also informs you on how to ward off vampire attacks. I have never seen so much thorough and informative information before in a book based on the occult. This book slightly describes, but also eliminates, myth from the vampire legend. This book destroys the typical "Hollywood" vampire. From the moment I received this book, on Christmas, I couldn't put it down, not for a second. He also interviews vampire encounters, and he brings up the important point that since the first city was built, vampire legends have existed. This book was obviously, heavily researched. I have no bad points to emphasize about this book. It is perfectly detailed, discriptive, and informative from start to finish. In conclusion, I doubt you will find a more complete book on the possibility of vampires existing than this. It has already become a favorite book of mine.

Excellent book! (for Occultists)

As you can tell from the five-star-ranking I gave to this book, I think it's really a remarkably good book. Divided into four parts (Immortal blood-drinkers, mortal blood-drinkers, unconscious psychic vampires and conscious psychic vampires), it shows a rationality and believability you wouldn't normally expect from a "vampire book". However a *little* esoteric and/or occult knowledge is helpful understanding especially the part about defense against attacks from psychic vampires, i. e. you shouldn't be utterly allergic to the concept of aurae, astral travel and such. Therefore, this book is perfect for occultists, people interested in esoterics and goths of the a-little-more-serious kind - of these, everyone should have it! - , though simply "somewhat weird" to the rest. By the way, the style of writing is quite understandable to people not speaking english as a native tongue, too.

Really mind opening, great for separating fact from fiction!

This book really gave a good insight on the different types of vampirism.Also included was actual references to vampire deities not made up fictional characters.One word somes it all up BRILLIANT!
