From the Book Cover
Vampires have continued to fascinate and compel us throughout the ages. Now, as the
millennium creeps to a close, the legions of the undead continue their search for corporal
sustenance. For fans of Visible Ink's bestselling Vampire Book and all those folks who
can't seem to get enough about these creatures of the night, The Vampire Gallery is just
what Herr Doktor ordered.
By far the most current and comprehensive source of its kind, The Vampire Gallery was
created in direct response to daily customer requests for a sequel to Visible Ink's bestselling
Vampire Book: The Encyclopedia of the Undead. Vampire expert J. Gordon Melton
returns, bringing fans a close-up view of fictional vampires from 19th- and 20th-century
literature, film, music, theater, poetry and comic books.
More than 300 fictional vampires are featured, including:
Barnabas Collins -- of the TV series "Dark Shadows"
Dracula -- from Bram Stoker's 1897 novel
Nick Knight -- lead character of the TV show "Forever Knight"
Lestat -- from Anne Rice's novel Interview with the Vampire
Nosferatu -- from the earliest film based on Dracula (1922)
Lord Ruthven -- lead character in "Vampyre," the first vampire short story (1819)
Vampira -- 1950s TV horror show hostess and movie actress
More than 300 intriguing essays explore the characters in depth, discussing how they fit or
changed the vampire myth of their time. The Vampire Gallery also offers insight into the
compelling men and women who created these vampire characters. Nearly 150 photographs,
many of them from Dr. Melton's private collection, bring the undead to life.
J. Gordon Melton has collected vampire lore and memorabilia since the 1950s. Profiled
in People magazine, Dr. Melton is a nationally known author, lecturer and scholar, best
known for his work on religion and cults. His nearly 30 books include Visible Ink's The
Vampire Book: Encyclopedia of the Undead, which has sold 100,000 copies and enjoyed 11
printings; VideoHound's Vampires on Video and New Age Almanac.
