Membership to the Vampire Studies Association (VSA) is open to anyone who agrees to our Association Rules and supports the association’s purpose “to establish vampire studies as a multidisciplinary field by promoting, disseminating and publishing contributions to vampire scholarship.”1
Prospective members under eighteen (18) years of age must have their application filed on behalf of a legal guardian.
At present, we offer a Basic annual membership but there are plans for tiered membership in future.
