    About this ebook

    "There's no book available on the vampire culture today with the range, depth, and diversity of Belanger's Vampires in Their Own Words."—Katherine Ramsland, author of Piercing the Darkness and The Science of Vampires

    "Belanger gives empathetic access to an emergent new magical-religious community...An important sourcebook for both the scholar and inquiring public."—J. Gordon Melton, Director, Institute for the Study of American Religion, and author of The Vampire Book: The Encyclopedia of the Undead

    The Code of Silence Has Been Broken
    For this anthology, vampire Michelle Belanger convinced nearly two dozen real-life vampires to break the code of silence that has kept their fascinating subculture shrouded in secrecy.

    Sometimes provocative, sometimes surprisingly down-to-earth, these candid firsthand accounts come from both psi vampires who feed on energy and sanguine vampires who drink actual blood. Their true stories shed light on a variety of topics, including awakening to vampirism, the compulsion to feed and feeding practices, donor ethics and etiquette, and vampire traditions and codes of behavior.

      A very interesting read. Whether you "believe" in vampires or not, there is a large community of people who self identify as such. If you know anyone into energy work, or if you yourself are, this is a book worth getting your hands on. Covering everything from practical to philosophical this book is a series of writings by well known (within their sub culture) members of the vamp community. You will probably find yourself disagreeing with some of them, I know I did, but that never hurts either. ;)

      I heard about this book from some friends, who's opinion I respect. While what I knew about modern Vampire culture could fit on the point of a pen, I decided to pick up the book anyway. I was blown away by the skill of the author, and drawn in to the flow of the writing. This is a skillfully written book! A definate rainy day and get comfy read! Michelle Belanger, the author, is one of.. if not.. "THE" expert on modern Vampire culture in the U.S. I found the book entertaining and educating. Two musts for any writing to keep my attention. Definately an exciting addition to my library.
