"Actual Factual" is a decent, solid and highly detailed compilation of what seems like pretty much every folklore vampire from pretty much everywhere on Earth. The details are clear and easily understood, providing great ideas for anyone looking for new and weird vampires and general nasties to throw into any game. the problem is that apart from the most obvious and common (generally speaking) beasties the specifics; weaknesses, preferred victim and time of feeding, the sort of stuff that a complex monstrous villain needs, are absent. The cause for this, simple lack of detail int he source material but still this can be a bit frustrating. If there was only a little more detail, even if it was supposition and guestimation then this would be an emphatic 5 but with the little fault (and perhaps a bit of harshness on my part) this book can nly get a 4.
