List of Vampire Websites (part 1)

List of Vampyre websites*** Updated: 20 April 2000***
**The following was compiled by Barbara Jean Kuehl. Any additions or
corrections should be sent to her at b...@csd.uwm.edu.
For general vampyre info, check the following URLs:
Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com
If you haven't had any luck locating those hard-to-find vampire
books and movies, Amazon.com would be a good place to look. I did
a search on the word 'vampire' and came up with over 100 titles.
I have not personally ordered from Amazon so I cannot comment about
their service, but prices seem to be reasonable.

If you could visit only one vampire website, this is the one!
Strigoi (aka Patrick Johnson) has covered every topic vampiric,
from Vampire Demi-Gods, Demons and Fairies to Vampire Fangs,
Bites, Drinking Blood, Soul Sucking and Heart Eating. In
between, Strigoi explores the legends of the undead in Eastern
Europe, Central Europe, Western Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Not only is the information as accurate as possible, but the
graphics are terrific, too. I can't say enough about Strigoi's
website. You'll just have to check it out for yourself. And
don't forget to follow the link to Strigoi's Almanac.

Part 3 will follow
in about a week
B J Kuehl
For the death of me, I don't know why the thread title came
through as "part 22". It said '2' when I sent it off. I'm just
adding on this note in case anyone worries about what happened
to parts 2-21. There will only be 3 parts to the list of
vampire websites, and part 3 won't be updated for at least
another week or two.
