HOW TO KILL A VAMPIRE
LADOUCEUR, LIISA
Citing examples from folklore, as well as horror films, TV shows, and works of fiction, this book details all
known ways to prevent vampirism, including how to protect oneself against attacks and how to destroy
vampires. While offering explanations on the origins and uses of most commonly known tactics in fending
off vampirism, the book also delves much deeper by collecting historical accounts of unusual burial rites
and shocking superstitions from European history. It traces the evolution of how to kill the fictional
vampire—from Bram Stoker’s Dracula and the Hammer horror films beginning in the 1950s to Anne
Rice’s Lestat and the dreamy vamps of Twilight, True Blood, and The Vampire Diaries—and also
celebrates the most important slayers, including Van Helsing, Buffy, and Blade. In exploring how and why
these monsters have been created and the increasingly complex ways in which they are destroyed, the
book not only serves as a handy guide to the history and modern role of the vampire, it reveals much
about the changing nature of human fears.
