In 1994, Brad Middleton created “Vampyres Only,” the first vampire pop culture website on the Internet (http://vampyres.com). It remains the largest, longest-running and most extensive source of related information available online. Since then, “VO” has been profiled across all media, and Brad’s expertise on the subject has led to consultations with such authors as Katherine Ramsland, who tapped him as a source for her ground-breaking book Piercing the Darkness: Undercover with Vampires in America Today (HarperCollins, 1998). In 2009, Brad wrote about television vampires for the third edition of J. Gordon Melton’s The Vampire Book: The Encyclopedia of the Undead (Visible Ink Press, 2010). He realized that the subject demanded further study; three years of additional research—and watching over 1300 hours of television—has culminated in Un-Dead TV: The Ultimate Guide to Vampire Television. He’s a member of the Horror Writers Association, and his personal blog is http://bradmiddleton.ca/.
