Yeah I like those two they're really creative the way that they are written. I've been meaning to read them again. Especially the chronicles.

I love the entire Vampire Chronicles series by Anne Rice. My favorite of those would be Memnoch The Devil. Those of you who have read it know why.

suggestions...

Oh I know..... Twilight!


omg sorry I had to.. lmao I couldn't resist.. but seriously lets talk about real books hehe I feel dirty even mentioning that trash omg I am so sorry.....

But seriously, the Sookie Stackhouse novels are absolutely worth reading. The show adapted from it True Blood, is absolute genius. The show is from what I can tell is exactly like the books so you could just watch the show and enjoy some great t.v. Also look up online the fake commercials and videos for True Blood, they are a riot. I especially like the one that is supposed to be like a budweiser commercial. FYI for those clueless to the Sookie novels, True Blood is the synthetic blood beverage that vampires drink.

Also I know this isn't a novel or anything but I have to of course mention anything from the Buffyverse. Buffy/Angel is a work of genius and the comics, show, and novels are great. Joss Whedon is actually continuing Buffy in graphic novel form.

There are lots of great Vampire books.

Obviously the most incredible and most famous book about vampires is Dracula, read the book a hell of a lot and never stop loving it. I love the story and everything about it, the characters especially

Then there is Salems' Lot by Stephen King. King is my favourite author and his second books was one of his best.

Also, recently read a childrens series of books about the Mayan God, Camazotz, there were six books and the series was called Vampire Plagues. Well worth a read, if you have time or don't have much time because they are about 150 pages each.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel books kick ass too, but I am also a massive Buffy fan, so some people may not like them.:) :) :) :cool:

Kim Newman does a fair range of vampire books and short stories.

I remember one book well, which was set in Victorian London and twisted the Jack the Ripper legend into a vampire slayer. Cant think of the title off hand.

Obviously there are the likes of the Anne Rice books and Brian Lumley stuff.

The book you're thinking of is Anno Dracula. One of my favorites.
