Through kidnapping and torturing 'supes,' Steve has figured out a lot--their strengths, their weaknesses, their bylaws and, of course, how to kill them. Sadly, Steve's journal was stolen by Fangtasia vampires Pam and Eric who have defaced it in a most disrespectful (and snarky) manner. Recreated here for True Blood fans to savour, The Field Guide to Vampers is packed with untold insight into ou...
