WHEN DARKNESS FALLS... WHEN THE UNDEAD RISE WITH A HUNGER FOR BLOOD... WHEN THE HUNT IS ON - AND YOU ARE THE PREY... WILL YOU BE READY?

In the inevitable event of a vampire attack, the average citizen will be forced to engage in vicious hand-to-hand combat. To avoid serious injury, disfigurement, or death by exsanguination, you need to know the proper combat strategies and techniques to ward off a stronger, faster, more agile undead opponent looking to drain the life from your body. Are you prepared? With detailed illustrations and firsthand accounts from vampire combat veterans--as well as interviews with actual members of the undead--this manual provides you with the information you need to survive with your life and blood supply intact, including:

- Debunking myths, i.e.: vampire flight, animal metamorphosis, physical attraction to humans

- Crafting the most lethal vampire weapons from everyday materials

- The pros--and cons--of decapitation

- Weaponizing Ultraviolet (UV) light against an undead opponent

- Using the Domicile Histodiscordant Reaction (DHR), otherwise known as The Vampire Invitation, to your advantage

- Solo attacks, team-based combat, and much more...

The Vampire Combat Manual is your indispensable key to survival, whether in a one-on-one battle for blood or a face-off against multiple attackers. Don't wait until the sun goes down--prepare yourself now!
