I figli della notte... Fin dai primi anni Sessanta, molto tempo prima, quindi, della comparsa di Lestat e dei suoi amici a opera di Miss Anne Rice, la figura del vampiro ha popolato la discografia rock. Testi, grafica delle copertine, look e il nome stesso di piu' di una band sono stati influenzati dai nipoti di Dracula. Questa é una piccola guida al materiale prodotto, dalle ingenue canzoncine pop dello sconosciuto Sheldon Allman alle trame piu' complesse del rock industriale, passando per il punk, l'heavy metal e il rock gotico...

I pipistrelli hanno lasciato la torre della campana, le vittime sono state dissanguate, rosse linee scarlatte la scatola nera Bela Lugosi e' morto ("Bela Lugosi's Dead", Bauhaus)
