The Dracula Syndrome

Well, the title got me to buy the book, shame on me for falling for it. It's a good read, but the subject matter is serial killers, not vampires; not even so-called "historical vampires", and sometimes the serial killers don't even have a vampiric element to their crimes at all! The author attempts to imply that there's some sort of "dracula syndrome" but there's very little case for this. He doesn't even bother trying, I thought. I gave it 4 stars because even though it has little to do with the matter the title implies, it's still pretty interesting.

the author has written this book in a manner that while reading, it takes control of you, it casts a spell, its spine-chilling. wonderful!
