The Real Twilight
Ever since the publication of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, vampires have been a part of the popular consciousness. Now, with the release of the phenomenally popular Twilight novels and the subsequent films, it seems that we can't get enough of these blood-sucking creatures of the night.
But we might not sleep quite so soundly if we knew that vampires aren't confined to the page and the screen. There is a thriving UK vampire scene that has roots deep in our history. Their shadowy secrets - which include drinking actual blood - have remained hidden from public gaze...until now.
From the revelation that the legend of Robin Hood may be based on a vampire, to the startling discovery that the Royal Family is descended from Vlad the Impaler, The Real Twilight is teaming with toe-curling tales of how vampire culthure is taking the country by storm.
Arlene Russo, the UK's foremost vampire expert and founder of Bite Me magazine, has interviewed dozens of real-life creatures of the night for this blood-curdling tome. She reveals the strange rituals and rights of vampire lore and the grisly truth behind genuine vampire murders.
Just hold on to your crucifix...
