Interspersed throughout the sections are first-hand accounts from individuals who have survived vampire attacks, along with chilling interviews with several who did not, were turned and are now speaking for the other team.

This is followed by a detailed lesson on vampire anatomy including vulnerabilities, training exercises for the human who wishes to survive a vampire attack, a primer on weapons, extensive combat techniques (with suitably gory illustrations), followed by strategies for eradication, securing your home and even the possibility of peaceful co-existence (spoiler: Yeah, that's not likely to happen so you'd better bone up on your wooden stake technique).

The Vampire Combat Manual opens with a series of common vampire misconceptions - for example, that vampires can fly - and systematically debunks them. All written in an engaging style, accompanied by Kurt Miller's black and white illustrations and interwoven with the narrative of an interviewer who is crisscrossing the country, investigating the vampire phenomenon.


Ma's guide follows the same general format as his previous book, combining reference material, firsthand accounts, hand-to-hand and weaponized combat techniques, offensive planning and (of particular interest to parents) a chapter on protecting your children from vampire attack. "You are being hunted." That's the opener to The Vampire Combat Manual, the latest combat-based undead survival guide from Roger Ma, author of The Zombie Combat Manual reviewed a few years back.
