Vampires are

Book • 1984
Stephen Kaplan's 'Vampires Are' is a nonfiction work mixing folkloric discussion, anecdotal accounts, and transcripts of calls related to reported vampire encounters, presented with a tongue-in-cheek tone.

Kaplan combines investigative interest with humor, using puns and playful language while documenting reports and his experiences running a vampire research center.

The book reveals Kaplan's eccentric approach to paranormal research and his openness to unusual phenomena, even as he critically engaged with other claims.

It offers insight into fringe paranormal subcultures of its era and Kaplan's personality as both a researcher and raconteur.

The work is notable for its idiosyncratic voice and archival value for those studying paranormal belief and lore.
