Vampire Hunters Kit

#Spooktober

This impressive work is the final Halloween miniature for this season, and its worth the wait!

This kit comes with everything a very small vampire hunter would ever desire for the slaying of equally tiny vampires!

It includes four books (all handstitched, with readable text) on the Uncannny, including Compte d'Erlette's Culte des Goules and a  journal, that ends in a crimson splash, and the warning to the next owner “DO NOT LET HIM LIVE”. 

It also provides some practical tools, such as a bottle of holy water, a silver cross, a compass, and a pistol in a hostler. There is a removable tool rack with hooks holding a mallet, a crowbar, and a mirror, and a bunch of sharpened stakes, a head of garlic, among other things!

This treasure trove was created by Pat Sweet, Printer & Binder, Riverside, California. Read more about it here.

Check out UI Special Collection’s seasonal Youtube Series Freaky Fridays and watch the adventure undertaken by the Hawkeye Ghost and some famous folks here in Special Collections to find this mini item in time for the Halloween pop-up exhibit, where you can see it for yourself Thursday at the Main Library from 11AM to 1PM. 

Have a great Halloween everyone!
