This coffee table visual feast celebrates a century of classic vampire cinema - mainstream and niche - through the many colourful ways in which the key films have been marketed and consumed, to enter the bloodstream of contemporary world culture. This book is dripping with stills, posters, artworks, pressbooks - many of which haven't seen the light of day for a very long time - and is introduced by cultural historian and connoisseur of the Gothic Christopher Frayling, who has been called 'the Van Helsing de nos jours'.
