"J.A. Kahn's Self-Defense Against Vampires is a very interesting concept. It's a fictional novel that reads as a possible textbook or self-help book.

Very Interesting
This book is very intense and to the point. Whether you believe vampires exist or are a legend this book is most fascinating. It is not a story or a tale; it is possibly the most comprehensive guide regarding the history and mystery of vampires and how to defend your self if the need arises. I have no formed opinion as to their existence guess I am kind of on the fence about it, but I have seen no clear evidence either way, so yes it is possible. I have encountered some bizarre people and truly wondered if they were vampires or if they were simply strong actors. I found this book to be powerful and enlightening and must confess I am more curious about what could happen. The author did an amazing job putting this all together and I respect his courage for stepping up and taking a stand. It is written well and easy to read and there is a wealth of interesting facts and ideas about vampires and could even save your life if it comes to pass as predicted. I recommend it to all who enjoy a book with a difference.
Clever, humorous guide to understanding and defending against vampires
J A Kahn has created the end all be all guide to vampires, and more importantly, how to kill them. With tongue in cheek wit our renowned and unmatched World Famous Killer Extraordinaire title holder (every year since 1995) takes you by the hand and guides you through the ins and outs of defending yourself against vampires by teaching you how to separate fact from fiction, myth from reality, and more importantly, admit that glitter is simply the name of a bad Mariah Carey movie and not, as some would have you think, the epidermal adornment of your future prom date.
Though written with an eye to humor, I found this surprisingly accurate with regards to vampire lore. Kahn introduces you to vampires under names few are familiar with, such as the Strigoi, the Upyr, the Leyak, and more. He shatters romantic literature's insistence that all things fang trace back to Romania and takes you further back to ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt instead. Vampire biology is covered in detail, as well as strengths and weaknesses, all things you'll need to know if you intend to survive possible encounters. Lastly he teaches you the moves you'll need to perfect in order to take it down before it drinks you dry. Overall a great read, very cleverly written and entertaining, and a must read for armchair slayers everywhere.
