Dracula Horror Halloween book Romancing the Vampire from Past to Present by David J Skal

This is truly a beautifully produced book that has lots of additional pieces of info etc.

This is more like a scrapbook than a typical book. There are lots of pockets with removable mini movie posters, stickers, photos, and maps. There are quite a few treats for fans of Bela Lugosi and Dracula.

Literature-wise...it goes in depth, from Ancient tales, to Gothic writers, to modern culture. It ends with Twilight and True Blood (the latest and biggest vampire trends). The author discusses a variety of vampire media, from movies, to plays, musicals, TV shows, and even fan clubs or vampire wannabes. He wrote about all this and spared no space providing a rich visual architecture.

This large book has a hardcover and an outer hardcover case to protect the book and its contents as shown in the first pic.

Very heavy - so postage is €11.

Halloween/Mother's Day / Easter / Birthday

There are some signs of shelf wear to the outer cover.
