The Encyclopedia of Vampires, Werewolves, and Other Monsters By: Rosemary Ellen Guiley
Non-fiction: reference, folklore, history, paranormal 337 pages
Book Count: 18
This is an A-Z book on vampire, werewolves and other paranormal beings. It is a good combination of legends and history. It includes folklore from around the world. It also includes historic events of "vampire" and "werewolf" attacks and their changing roles in books, movies, TV and other arts. It includes tons of information on landmark examples of vampires in the arts such as: multiple entries on the book "Dracula", season by season info on the show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and info on each book in the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. (Who interestingly was named Howard Allen Frances O'Brien at her birth.) It also has a section of further reading for each entry. The one major downside of this book is that it was published in 2005, since then there were many new things about the paranormal that has come out.
