Gr 4–9—Trumbauer enables readers to sink their teeth into everything and anything vampire. Narrated by "Treval Vorgard, Vampire Enthusiast and Occasional Hunter," the book first plunges into anatomy, diet, powers, shape-shifting, and the question of immortality. From there topics such as a vampire's lair, hunting techniques, enemies, and allies are covered in detail. The parchmentlike pages are filled with bold illustrations, sketches, and fact cards. Vorgard's entertaining side comments add to the guide's appeal.—Donna Rosenblum, Floral Park Memorial High School, NY
