Douglas Dietrich's bogus "Vamphyrology" book was once titled "Red Undead: The Untold True Story of the Supernatural Soviets"

Dietrich's "Vamphyrology: The Vampire Research Paper" (312 pages, Sky Books (November 17, 2020) was once titled "Red Undead: The Untold True Story of the Supernatural Soviets".

"Red Undead" (336 pages, 2015), however, was never actually published nor was a single copy ever sold.

Dietrich had not mentioned the publication of a book until 2020.

Dietrich was interviewed on December 2, 2009, nearly 10 years before the publishing of "Vamphyrology: The Vampire Research Paper"

During the interview, Dietrich claimed he was "working for the State of California at that time (2009) as a "documents destruction expert"  and employed a female co-writer who had a nervous breakdown dealing with the material.

Dietrich mentioned specific details regarding the "notes" he later used as the basis for a "manuscript." Those details are identical to those later published in "Vamphyrology: The Vampire Research Paper".

Dietrich later claimed that the publishing of "Red Undead" was a total failure due to the betrayal of others and the censorship of the US Government.

In fact, Dietrich would later claim in October 2020, that thousands of copies of the book had been published, but were "purchased and then destroyed" by the US government.

A search for publishing details revealed that Dietrich used the "Createspace" Independent Publishing Platform on June 25, 2015, to create the text and dimensions of the book on Amazon.

But Dietrich likely screwed up the publishing of the book himself.  No book cover was available in 2015 so Dietrich must have added it years later.  No credit was given to David J.West on the cover he created.

In 2020 Dietrich suddenly brings up the existence of the book "Red Dead" and claimed it was "Banned by the US Government".

"TONIGHT ON EVENTIDE WHENCE the DIETRICH GOES GOTH TO RECOUNT THE SUPPRESSED HISTORY BEHIND HIS BANNED BOOK ON THE GENOCIDAL COMMUNIST EXPLOITATION ‘O’ A SENTIENT HUMAN SUBSPECIES  And attempt to find thyself a single extant Copy." (10-7-20)

(3:01: 55 to 3:14:20) Dietrich admits Red Undead is about vampires and  (9:45:30 to 11:16:25) admits a bomb was used to create a vampire research colony.

Dietrich mentioned he had worked with author  David J. West but would later accuse West of wanting to fictionalize the content and then actually stealing his book and attempting to publish it as his own. He then slandered West on his radio show for many months after.

I contacted Mr. West and published his response with permission:

"I had worked on Red Undead in early 2012 to make it palatable to the public but I could not personally find it believable. I was interesting, yes, but like good historical fiction - which was the source of my original interest in Douglas.

I was upset with Lorien Fenton for trying to give me a cheap flat rate for working on it, so I quit working on the edits which Douglas was incredibly anal and ridiculous about. You clearly know how he writes and it's just not palatable to the lay audience.

As time went on I spent less and less time talking with him. He said a lot of things publicly that I didn't agree with and soon I felt it best to not have anything more to do with him.

I had to laugh about Doug's assertions about the book. He should know if it was ever published. It wasn't. I had no idea he dreamt up the conspiracy about it until you showed it to me."
