How to Kill a Vampire - All Things Anita

Anita Blake, in addition to being an animator, is a professional Vampire Executioner. It is one of her regular jobs.

This page contains information on 'How to Kill Vampires' a al LKH. The information comes from the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter novels Guilty Pleasures through Skin Trade.

After vampires become legal citizens, a license is required for vampire hunting through the state, just as doctors and teachers are. They must also have a court order of execution, otherwise it's considered murder.


Methods of Killing Vampires:

The older the vampire,vampire, the harder it is to kill.

Some younger vampires can be killed by a simple bullet to the head or chest.

  • Cut off the head and removed the heart, burn the body and scatter the ashes in separate areas.
  • Pierce or otherwise destroy the heart, the stake must be left in place - this is difficult and messy
  • Fire - best method for Rotting Vampire form
  • An injection of silver nitrate into the blood stream
  • If you kill a master vampire, none of the younger, non-master vampires bound to them will rise at the next sunset.
Sharpened Stakes




Older and the more powerful vampires are much tougher to kill.

  • Masters and long lived vampires can survive a massive wound to the heart.
  • Older vamps can also survive a bullet to the head - they can still be alive even if most of the brain is gone.
  • They must be able to feed or pull power from their followers to heal.
  • The greater the size of their Kiss the more damage they can withstand.
  • Rotting vampires, those that can cause their bodies to rot, must be burned to ensure that they are truly dead. They can withstand multiple bullets, and being fully dismembered.
