This book is dedicated to the family and friends who dealt with my strange occult obsessions as a child. Thanks for never hesitating to purchase the latest set of plastic fangs. To my editors, Meg Leder and Jeanettte Shaw: Thank you for your faith and support. To the pop culture vampires who changed the world: Béla Lugosi, Barnabas Collins, Spike, even that shiny Edward fellow. And finally, to all the people who pause when walking by a dark corner, linger just a second longer past a cemetery, and daydream about a vampire enrolling in your school: May you safely encounter a vampire all your own.
