Vampire folklore resources
1. Bibliographies and book reviews
2. Online articles
Note: The following list includes a lot of redundant copycat sites. One of these days, I may try to figure out who copied from whom and whittle the list down a bit, but that's not my top priority right now. In the mean time, if you discover any more sites with ORIGINAL material, please let me know!
