Vampires Revealed by Rebekah Harrington


Published Synopsis:

Leave behind your preconceived ideas, forget the horror stories and disregard everything you think you know about vampires.

For centuries the debate has raged; are vampires real? There has been plenty of myth and superstition regarding vampires but not a lot of truth or answers. In a unique piece of work, Bektamun a 3000 year old vampire, puts to rest all the myth and finally reveals the truth about the legendary creatures known across the globe as vampires.

Vampires Revealed is a journey of discovery. Never before have humans had and an opportunity such as this. To know the unadulterated truth, for every question you may have ever had about vampires to be answered.

Review:

Bektamun knows more about vampires than most because she’s been around almost since the very beginning. And now, she wants to share her knowledge, and dispel some myths along the way, with us humans. Told from her point of view, Vampires Revealed is part journal, part instructional manual, and part vampire encyclopedia. All three parts come together to make a fun and enjoyable read.

In Vampires Revealed, Rebekah Harrington has put together quite a combination of folk lore history and fiction. Obviously well researched, her take on vampire society may not always be original, but the reader will come away feeling as if he or she learned some things along the way. Written as a faux informational text, with a healthy amount of anecdotes along the way to keep the reader’s interest, the book is at times fascinating, definitely thought-provoking, and on occasion, humorous. There were instances where I found the text to be repetitive, which caused a couple of parts to drag a little bit, but overall, I found myself enjoying an interesting, and sometimes refreshing, look at vampire mythology. I thank the author for a review copy and I give the book four stars.
