Encyclopedia Gothica: A Novel door Liisa Ladouceur
You should at least leaf this one through. I read it all, but then again I like encyclopedias. This is a fun book.
Exploring the slaying of vampires in folklore, history, books, and movies, this book takes a pop culture tone to it's discussion and tends to focus on the most popular and well known vampire tales, including Dracula, Nosferatu, Lost Boys, and other well known versions. While the book did teach me some new things, such as historical accounts of vampire killings (mostly just the mutilating of corpses) and the fact that sunlight was only introduced as a weapon in the movies, I feel this is an entry level book. I personally would have preferred a more in-depth look at vampire mythology and the weapons used to destroy the creatures.… (meer)
A book about vampires and their slayers from history, film, and novels. A good place to start researching vampires in pop culture with a decent selected filmography in the back. Not extensive, but a good start. The book is exactly what it advertises.

A wonderfully delightful encyclopedia of the Goth culture from the beginning to now written with humor and wit. I've enjoyed flipping through the entries reminiscing on bands, shops, and places.
