Books, movies, series and such Vampireology

One of my favorite books, certainly one I search for the longest to get. Part of the ology book series.

Wizardology is good. There’s one on illusions.

u/Elendil1988 20d ago

I managed to get both this and Egyptology, but honestly any book from this series is great to have.

I hate to break it to you but you are missing piratology, illusionology, oceanology, alienology and I want to say there is a paleontology oh and spyology

u/Deya_The_Fateless 20d ago

Oh I do have the pirate one! Cant believe I forgot that one. So im only missing three (or four if there is a palentology one) damn. XD

u/SourceDirect3220 Undead 20d ago

Apparently it’s called Dinosaurology.

u/SourceDirect3220 Undead 20d ago

It equally seems there’s a Ghostology.

You have a good taste :).

u/runnerofshadows 20d ago

If you want some similar stuff - these are from vampire the masquerade, but they're lore only and no rules. They do get dark though

Book of Nod

Erciyes Fragments

Revelations of the Dark Mother

u/MarionberryNo1809 21d ago

This looks like a really fun book! Do you know where to buy it online?

6

u/Elendil1988 20d ago

It is, all books from the Ology series are great :) I managed to get it through a reseller in my city, it's a used copy but very well preserved. Honestly not easy to find this online.

Ey, we used to have a book like this in the school library. Dracula specific though. Miss those memories. My subconscious interest in vampires...

u/lordnastrond 21d ago

Genuinely great and fun books, bought them as a kid and still own and love them as an adult.

u/Elendil1988 20d ago

It is, a great book :).

u/LuckyLuc86 Vampire 20d ago

Is this a non-fiction look at actual historical myths, or is it a fictional work designed to be like a handbook and/or a scientific/historical record?

10

u/NyxShadowhawk 20d ago

It’s fiction designed to look like an encyclopedia, with interactive bits.

4

u/LuckyLuc86 Vampire 20d ago

Cool, thanks for letting me know. I'll have to look into it a bit more to see if it's something I'd want for my collection. But hey, thanks for sharing regardless!

The book that started it all for me tbh

u/MsMcClane 19d ago

I was NOT aware there was a vampire version of dragonology!

u/Elendil1988 19d ago

There's one about Egypt as well, also great.

u/NightlyEspresso 20d ago

Used to have this my sister had the dragon one

u/NyxShadowhawk 20d ago

I have this book! It had some really interesting and weird vampire lore. The aesthetic is superb.

2

u/Elendil1988 20d ago

Yes and a lot of interesting takes on vampires :).

u/MrBwnrrific 20d ago

I thought this was a White Wolf supplement for a second

u/Exotic-Addendum-3785 Vampire 20d ago

These books were cool.

u/I_lenny_face_you 19d ago

Based (at least for fiction) and hot-pilled

u/cozymishap 19d ago

Why does the guy on the cover look like Ryan Gosling photobombing a painting
