About the Book

This hauntingly beautiful book from the master of gothic imagery is the essential guide to the lore and landscapes of the vampire. The legend of the vampire has terrified and seduced the human imagination since before Roman times, and in recent years has captivated a new generation, with Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga selling more than 100 million copies worldwide and spawning a huge revival in books, film and television on a vampire theme. Using infrared film to convey the ethereal atmosphere of his subjects, Marsden has travelled from Germany to the United States, Slovakia to Scotland as he hunts out the vampires of myth and literature, and real individuals suspected of vampirism. His images include sites of perennial fascination, such as Vlad Dracul's ruined palace in the wilderness of Romania, and more recent places of vampire pilgrimage, like the Etruscan city of Volterra in Italy, home to Twilight's ancient vampire coven. They are accompanied by his authoritative and entrancing text, filled with rare discoveries and traveller's tales, plus extracts from classics such as Bram Stoker's Dracula, and an introduction that charts the secret history of the vampire right up to the darkly romantic figure of today. Stunning, chilling, this title will satisfy Marsden's established devotees and prove a timeless introduction for new fans of the vampire genre.

About the Author :
Sir Simon Marsden is an internationally acclaimed photographer who is unequalled in capturing the mysterious spirit of ancient landscapes and romantic ruins. A respected authority on the supernatural, he spent his childhood in two famously haunted manor houses in the depths of the English countryside, with a library of occult books and a father who delighted in telling his children fireside ghost stories. His fascination with photography began when his father gave him a Leica camera for his 21st birthday, and the first roll of film that he shot was of cardboard cut-outs of ghosts that he arranged in tableaux in the garden. He worked in London as an assistant to the Irish photographer Ruan O'Lochlainn, then travelled in the United States and was discovered by a New York gallery owner. Sir Simon's photographs can now be found in the Getty Museum in California, Victoria & Albert Museum in London and Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, and he has exhibited from Brussels to Tokyo. He has published 11 books, on subjects from US author Edgar Allan Poe, to the ruined great houses of Ireland and, most recently, Ghosthunter: A Journey Through Haunted France. With many appearances on television and radio, his award-winning documentary drama film with John Hurt has also been shown worldwide. Sir Simon is currently working on a new project in Russia, photographing what remains of the palaces and estates of the Russian aristocracy since the Revolution of 1917. He lives in the heart of the Lincolnshire Wolds with his wife and two teenage children.

Review :
"This eerie, twilight world of dreams is a masterful volume that leaves Marsden as the Gothic photographer par excellence." --"Times "on "The Journal of a Ghosthunter"
