The Vampire Survival Guide: How to Fight, and Win, Against the Undead by Scott Bowen & Illustrated by Adam Bozarth
The Vampire Survival Guide is a book that I could easily picture in one of those vampire survival kits complete with stakes and holy water. While the book includes vampire fact boxes, random questions, and humorous illustrations, it is actually informative and quite believable. What would you do if you fell in love with a vampire, or if your friend became one of the undead? Well, you’ll find out if you read this book.
This is a quote from the book that I have to put in. “ My ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend isn’t a vampire, but I’m paying a vampire to turn him into one so I can shoot him. Is that wrong?” – Random Question
You’ll find the answer to this question and many more, for example how to care for the afflicted, signs that someone is turning into a vampire, weaknesses, powers, physical features, and of course how to kill them. And, did you know that if there was a vampire outbreak that politics play a large role?
Scott Bowen has a different writing style that is much appreciated by this reviewer, the book read quite easily and quickly. It was the illustrations and the layout of the book that really made it enjoyable. I liked the research that was put in the vampire fact boxes, and the many chapters on what to do, and how to do it. The downside to The Vampire Survival Guide is that it’s considered “Humor”. Well, the writing didn’t make me laugh, it was more about the illustrations that sometimes elicited a giggle or snort. I believe that this book is only for enjoyment, and not an actual survival guide because “real” vampires do not exist, but it was still a different type of novel for me to read. So Scott Bowen receives 3.5 Hearts.
