This set of pages started with a comprehensive list about vampires and how the myths apply to several fictional universes. A little later, I added a similar list for Shapeshifters. Now with the start of a third page for Witches, I thought it was finally time to have a base page for the set.

So now, we have mythology pages for: 

• Vampires -- last update: 12 Apr 2002
• Shapeshifters -- last update: 10 Jan 2002, and
• Witches -- last update: 3 Jun 2000. 

As I mention on the pages, I am always, always glad to get comments and corrections on these pages. Unless you're actually abusive, you are not going to hurt my feelings. Right now I especially need help with the Witches page, which is the newest. 

These are some links for the fictional universes referred to in these pages..

• Pathway to Darkness has a (now) rather outdated mirror of the vampire page formatted as one of its articles. The site is generally a very good resource.

• White Wolf (publishers of novels and RPGs in the "World of Darkness") also lists fan sites (like this one) at the Dark Spiral and has a big 'ol copyright / disclaimer page.
