Research books on vampires

Since I like to research vampires and related creatures sometimes, I have collected a list of useful research books. Rather than keep it to myself, I have now decided to share it with anyone interested. 

Bane, Theresa. Encyclopedia of Vampire Mythology. McFarland, 2010.

Bunson, Matthew. The Vampire Encyclopedia. Random House International, 2001.

Curran, Bob. Encyclopedia of the Undead: a Field Guide to Creatures That Cannot Rest in Peace. New Page Books, 2006.

Guiley, Rosemary. The Encyclopedia of Vampires, Werewolves, and Other Monsters. Checkmark Books, 2005.

Hallab, Mary Y. Vampire God: the Allure of the Undead in Western Culture. SUNY Press, 2009.

Melton, J. Gordon. The Vampire Book: The Encyclopedia of the Undead. Visible Ink Press, 2010.

Regan, Sally. The Vampire Book. DK Pub., 2009.

Most of these should be available as ebooks on Amazon, Apple, or Google. Isn't technology great?

What I find interesting about these books is that they include references to vampire-like creatures from across world mythology, including creatures you might not ordinarily associate with vampires like the Chinese húlijīng or "fox fairy".

Uses for dragon’s blood and other body parts

Stumbled upon some interesting articles on the use of dragon’s blood and other body parts as ingredients. Hopefully this might inspire anybody who reads this.
