In The Vampire Combat Manual, Roger Ma, the nation’s preeminent expert in undead warfare, prepared the average citizen to defend against a brutal vampire attack. But without appropriate training, even the most adept slayer of bloodsuckers can be left vulnerable.
Therefore, the Institute for Undead Combat Studies has once again created an essential practice handbook for anyone seeking to avoid serious injury, infection, or death at the hands of a vampire. This comprehensive guide includes:
*Detailed illustrations to aid in identifying various types of the undead and their vulnerabilities, as well as anatomical drawings you can color to promote knowledge retention
*Interactive mental and physical exercises that will teach invaluable fighting techniques and prepare you for battle
*Work pages to hone weapon selection, defensive and offensive techniques, and precise staking strategies
*and much more!
With the proper preparation, no one need fear death by exsanguination or an eternity spent in darkness. Learn to ward off these bloodthirsty creatures while you can—or say good-bye to your days in the sun…

***Our Review***
When Berkley contacted us about The Vampire Combat Manual we were ridiculously excited! Then it arrived (complete with a set of crayons!) and we couldn’t wait to get started. It is filled with vampire anatomy, identification, tactics, weapons, strategy, and combat scenarios– all on color-able pages. It should come as no surprise to any of you that our favorite page was all about The Seducers. It might not have talked about sparkling skin, but we couldn’t help but think of Edward Cullen.
The graphics are unique and fun making it a blast to flip through. Roger Ma managed to make not just a coloring book, but a coloring book that tells the reader a story. It is the perfect adult coloring book for anyone who loves the undead, Halloween, or someone looking for something unique to add to their shelves.
