Can you tell me some good vampire books?
Besides the obvious, ever so popular Twilight, Vampire Chronicles, Dracula, and The Vampire Diaries.. I am want more adult than young adult, but will be happy to hear titles and authors of either.
If you liked Dracula, you will love Rhiannon Frater’s The Tale of the Vampire Bride – don’t let the cover fool you, it’s an adult novel, written in the style of Stoker’s Dracula, and IMO, on par with it. Also, Diaries of the Family Dracul series by Jeanne Kalorgridis is a great prequel to Stoker’s Dracula.
If you liked the Vampire Chronicles, you should like Jemiah Jefferson’s Fiend.
Some other great ADULT vampire novels that you would probably love are:
Fevre Dream by George RR Martin
Let Me In by John Lindqvist
Those Who Hunt the Night, and Renfield by Barbara Hambly
Vamped by David Sosnowski
Vampire Memories series by Barb Hendee
Pretty when She Dies by Rhiannon Frater
Anno Dracula series by Kim Newman
Night Inside, & Blood and Chrysanthemums by Nancy Baker
They Thirst by Robert McCammon
I am Legend by Richard Matheson
Also, Thirst No. 1 & 2 by Christopher Pike (aka the Last vampire series) is young adult, but is very good.
Also, if you think you would enjoy reading a straight up horror novel about vampires, with absolutely no romance involved, these are really good reads:
Salem’s Lot by Stephen King
Afterage by Yvonne Navarro
Vampire Winter & Darkness on the Ice by Lois Tilton
The Strain series by Guillermo Del Toro & Chuck Hogan
If you would enjoy reading some that have black humor in them, check out:
Bottomfeeder by B.H. Fingerman
Bloodsucking Fiends, You Suck, & Bite Me by Christopher Moore
Mary Janice Davidson’s Queen Betsy series
Gil’s All Fright Diner by A.Lee Martinez
the Argeneau series by Lynsay Sands
If you want some really unusual takes on the vampire genre, check out:
The Eternal Vigilence series by Gabriel Faust. A really strange blend of Cyberpunk/horror/vampire, but it’s amazingly good, and Gabriel’s writing is the best I have ever experienced.
Lord of the Dead, and the sequel, Slave to my Thirst by Tom Holland
Sunshine by Robin McKinley
