The Vampire Miles Proctor: The New Vampire's Handbook

Since the previous books from my reviews didn't repel you and you now need some pointers when it comes to your new undead life because the tall, dark and handsome probably left you, you are lucky to have this book at your disposal. 
It will tell you a lot. And by a lot I mean everything. The Vampire who wrote this took into account the flood of newly created vampires without their sires to teach them all about their new lives. He was alarmed by the lack of experience the American vampires had, hence the book. 
Every aspect of vampire's life is described in the book. From the creation, through some disturbing news about excretory system, to the ruling families in the vampire world. 
The book is funny and very educational. It does not leave any single aspect of vampire's life untouched. You will find yourself swept by the tide of laughter. In spite of it's awesome detailed descriptions and helpful diagrams, I must confess, I hated the photographs in the book. They seemed too unrealistic and too forced. The drawings were OK but the photos made the book look too cheap and I bet many readers actually declined to read this because of the visuals.
Many readers judge books by the pictures, I can assure you. Which means many people were robbed of fun in this case.

GENRE: self-help for new vampires
FANGS OUT: funny and detailed
FANGS RETRACTING: the photos are just too arranged
TOTAL SCORE:
