Vampira: Dark Goddess of Horror by W. Scott Poole

In our world, there are 2 dream ghouls; Vampira and Elvira. Two figures locked into history together but that is another story for another time. Vampira is one of the most beloved figures in the Horror society but; not much is known about her and her life. There isn't even footage left from her show for us to see. In this book, we get a glimpse at the her life, impact, career and the world around her. At times it reads much like a sociology essay when explains the world she grew up in as well as the world that she decided to unleash her monster on. That is not to say that it is boring as one must understand why they buried her alive in a sense as history wanted to get rid of her but, the monster continues to rise time and time again. In the end, this is a must read for any Horror fan as she is such a fascinating character and human being but, with not much being known about her, this may answer some questions though some will remain as so much has been lost to history or erased entirely. This is her chance to come out of the shadows and into the light where she belongs.
