A friend picked up my library holds from curbside the other day and this gem was included - despite my not requesting it (and it doesn‘t show up on my account) 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
I‘ve already reached out to the library to let them know I have it, but I thought it amusing how appropriate for the month this bonus book is.

Also, it makes me a bit sad cause this was published in 1999 - so there is no ref to my current faves: what we do in the shadows.

Started part 1 of my huge book shelf blog! Getting every single book written down! Final total comes to 424 books! Oh my! The only thing I didn't put down yet are my school books, which I will but that's a bit more complicated than what I have going on right now.

If you're into vampires this is the book for you even if you're not looking for a reference book for writing. The Vampire Book has over 800 pages. I love the paranormal so this encyclopedia of the undead was a must! The book goes back to 1047 AD where the word vampire first appeared in written word.

SecretLivesOfFictionLovers Would so love to read this! Definitely going on my TBR list. 😊 8y
brendanmleonard I was *obsessed* with this one in middle/high school. 8y
Librarian Going to have to find a copy of this! 8y
HDThomson I'm sure you can find a copy used on abebooks.com if you don't want to spend the extra. It's pretty comprehensive! 8y
