Bite: Press reviews

‘Kevin Jackson has put his obsessions to extremely good use. Bite is snappily written, erudite and extremely good fun to read.’

Spectator

‘A witty whirlwind tour of blood-sucking monsters from the Assyrian utukku to Edward Cullen … Ideal for any teenage Twilight fan – if only to convince them that they should be watching Buffy instead.’

Josh Lacey, Guardian

‘Expert, witty and far reaching, looking worldwide and all the way back to antiquity to find archetypal bloodsuckers … one of the revealed marvels is how the character of the vampire killer has itself had been reborn and reinterpreted time and again.’

Fortean Times

‘A most timely anthology on the lore and the gore of the undead.’

The Bookseller

‘Jackson’s witty and honest prose and love for the genre are evident, and props must be given to how encompassing it is … Bite is a fun and informative read and worth sinking one’s fangs into.’
