FOREWORD
I've been hooked (or should that be impaled?) on vampires ever since I was a kid. But don't ask me
to be exact, because when I was a kid was a long time ago. It was probably those old books my
father used to keep on a high shelf he knew I couldn't reach . . . without the aid of stepladders.
The stepladders would come out whenever Mom and Dad would make one of their rare excursions out
into the world, maybe to the Picturehouse or the Ritz or the Empress, to see the latest big
picture - the latest 'movie', to you American cousins. It would be something with Betty Grable,
maybe, or Dick Haymes.
