From the book's back:
"Here is the true history of the blood-drinking fallen ones, or "Vampires", who have lived amongst us and preyed on humans since the earliest days. I write this book as a warning to all humanity, especially those who might be ensnared by the vampire's wicked charms.
Archibald Brooks
World Protector, 1900
Having bought several of these books in the "Ology" series for my husband, I knew how stunning they could be. Well written for younger kids, the art work and graphics are visually stunning. So when I knew that "Vampireology" was due out, I couldn't wait to see how it turned out.
It was worth the wait.

From Candlewick Press:
A Genuine and Most Authentic Ology
Long before the term vampire was born, long before Bram Stoker fictionalized this being’s ways, blood-drinking demons were banished to Earth by Michael’s host of Angels, or so the Bible describes. Now this rich, mesmerizing resource, written in 1900, sheds light on what happened hence to the three vampire bloodlines -- especially the tortured souls known as the Belial. Interspersed are booklets, flaps, and letters between a young paranormal researcher who discovered the book in the 1920s and an oddly alluring woman who seeks his help. Among the phenomena explored are:
* vampires’ genealogical origins, attributes, and range
* myths about the making of vampires
* secrets of vampires’ powers and shape-shifting skills
* tips for spotting vampires, protecting oneself, and fighting back
* case studies of famous vampires -- and vampire hunters -- through history
* a shocking overview of vampires "living" among us
Explore (if you dare) the true history of the Fallen Ones -- and follow the fate of a 1920s investigator lured by a beauty with violet eyes.
