Vampires is a sourcebook featuring information about ten different vampires. [1] These can be used as major antagonists in a Chill campaign.
Each vampire is given a biography, a description of its particular powers and weaknesses, and role-playing game statistics. [2]
The book includes a short sample adventure, "Vengeance of Dracula", set some years after Bram Stoker's novel, when Dracula returns to England to exact his revenge. [2]
The horror role-playing game Chill was published by Pacesetter in 1984. The following year, Pacesetter published a number of supplements, including Vampires, a 96-page softcover book designed by Gali Sanchez and Michael Williams, with interior artwork by Stephen Sullivan and cover art by Susan Collins.
After Pacesetter went out of business, Mayfair Games acquired the rights to Chill and published a second edition in 1990. Mayfair also revised and expanded Vampires, publishing a 128-page second edition again designed by Sanchez and Williams, with interior artwork by Mark Beachum, Mari Paz Cabardo, Terry Pavlet, and Ike Scott, and cover art by Joe DeVelasco.

In Issue 186 of Dragon (October 1992), Rick Swan called this "the best of the Chill sourcebooks — in fact, one of the best horror sourcebooks, period." Swan described the writing style of Gali Sanchez and Michael Williams as "a controlled, eloquent style that captures both the sensuality and otherworldliness of the undead." However, Swan felt the included scenario "ends the book with more of a fizzle than a bang. After a promising beginning, the adventure degenerates into a series of ho-hum scares and an unsatisfying ending." Swan concluded "I would've liked stronger scenarios and a few more adventure hooks, but all in all, the fastidious research, evocative writing, and enthusiasm for the material makes for a winning combination."
