Have you been bitten by a manipulative psychological leech? Or are you someone who enjoys bleeding others emotionally?
Very real vampires are stalking their prey from the shadows - not the supernatural kind, but people we deal with every day, who deliberately drain our mental and emotional energy. Many of these predators know exactly how much frustration, anger, and anxiety they inflict, while others carry on virtually unaware of the damage they cause, and victims are many times unaware that they are being bled.
What is an emotional predator? These "vampires" manipulate, use, and psychologically abuse friends, relatives, and even total strangers. By controlling situations and people for their own purposes, these emotional "blood suckers" gain strength to strike again. Vampires is the field guide for recognizing and combating these predators.
Written by a psychiatric care specialist and a well-known author of horror fiction, and peppered with fascinating personal stories from vampires and their victims, Vampires identifies and classifies emotional predators; exposes the methods they use and their favorite haunts (e.g., at work, in relationships, and in public); unmasks the collective vampirism of groups, and offers ways to combat the effects of an emotional attack.

Emotional vampires are individuals we deal with in daily life who leave us feeling normally angry, confused, upset, or fatigued. These manipulative psychological leeches may be total strangers or our best friends, co-workers or family members. By controlling situations and people for their own purposes they prey upon their victims with the deliberate aim of stealing emotional energy - just like mythical vampires. Many of these predators know exactly how much frustration, anger, and anxiety they inflict, while others carry on virtually unaware of the damage they cause, and victims are many times unaware that they are being bled. These vampire attacks may be one-time interactions or they could go on for years. They can range from just being emotionally troublesome to threatening the careers, mental health, and even the lives of their victims. This work identifies and classifies emotional predators, exposes the methods they use, describes the collective "vampirism" of groups, and offers ways to combat the effects of an emotional attack.
