Channel: Typical Books of Terror
Date: 2020-06-08

Vampires have long been creatures of horror literature, and much of their lore is pulled from fact and history. Today on Typical Books, I'll be sharing my top 7 nonfiction vampire books - a chilling reading list that will leave you feeling both thrilled and intrigued. Keep reading to discover my favourites, including a few unexpected picks I don't even have on the shelf. Thank you to Jason of Jason's Weird Reads for the idea, and for the upcoming video on top vampire fiction too!

I first knew of Jason through the Darkness Dwells podcast, and then heard a familiar voice on The Great Lakes Horror Company podcast and only then did I discover his booktube channel!

Most links in my video descriptions are affiliate links where I earn somehow when you use the services I do to make videos or for reading and relaxation ~ The opinions expressed herein are my own. If there are #horror books out there that you think I ought to read, let me know. I talk scary books, extreme horror, classic, gothic, and everything in between. Helping you find the next best horror book to read is the goal, and sharing new and old horror from my #booktube shelves and new releases is how! Horror, nonfiction and even true crime can be found here as I find that human beings are the scariest thing of all.
