The Dictionary of Vampspeak: Terminology & Lingo (2nd Ed., pocket)

An indispensable guide containing the common jargon, slang, doublespeak, plays on words, etc., used by real vampires to converse with one another, privately or in public. With so many real vampires "coming out", and reaching out to others, there are many who are just discovering there's a wide community out there, both on and offline. Many new vampires are unfamiliar with "vampspeak", and as such, use inaccurate or inappropriate terms they have been exposed to in popular fiction, movies, or role-playing games; or they use specialized terms that only they, and possibly a small group of fellow vampires, have come up with. Unfortunately, though they may be quite real, this often makes them seem like posers, or ignorant. This lexicon is an excellent guide and intro to much of the terminology used by real vampires; it is not intended to cover the highly specialized terminology and jargon used by specific groups and houses. This edition includes over 60 new terms not contained in the previous.
