Being turned into a vampire is the easy part. Actually
becoming a vampire is far more difficult.
In today’s
world of vampire-obsessed pop culture, misinformation
abounds. A newly turned vampire who looks to movies and
novels for answers to everlasting life’s questions will
inevitably be reduced to a smoldering pile of dust. So whom
can you, a neophyte immortal, trust to provide reliable
information and proven strategies for leading your best and
bloodiest existence? The Vampire Miles Proctor, editor of
The New Vampire’s Handbook. In this definitive guide, the
newly turned will find
• a head-to-toe look at your
vampiric body: how to harness your new powers to dispatch
mortal enemies, maintain your fangs, and embrace your
vampirosexuality • methods for luring prey, faking your
way through meals, approaching other vampires, and creating
a four-hundred-year financial plan • tips on acting your
“age,” behaving appropriately if you see a human you knew
decades ago, and dealing with epic vampire feuds •
essential advice for blending in with the masses, from
finding a coven to avoiding the media (and mirrors) to
staying on top of the latest fashion trends • the joy of
scrapbooking
Plus helpful online resources, a glyph
guide, renovation instructions for emergency lairs, a Ruling
Families directory, nightly mantras, and personal anecdotes
from The Vampire Miles Proctor’s nearly five hundred years
