Hello Linda, Thank you for your comments. I am sure you will enjoy the other novels mentioned.

Hi Rob. Have you started to read The Strain. I would love to hear your thoughts once you are finished. Thank you for posting a comment.

Thank you for your comments Angie. C. Harris is a wonderful writer. Her words flow effortlessly. I plan on reading Sunshine. I am always on the hunt for another great vampire novel.

Hi Corey, thank you for all of your suggestion. “I Am Legend” will be one of my upcoming reads. I appreciate your comments.

I can’t believe you skipped “I Am Legend.” That book (the book, not the movie) showed a world overrun with vampires who achieved civilization.

Cirque du Freak is also an amazing series about vampires, with them having an ancient culture, rituals, and actually differentiating breeds.

The final recommendation would be “The Reformed Vampire Support Group” which was a book that features vampires as weak and feeble (this one is more of a teenage book).

There are a lot of different takes on vampirism, though.

And I’m not a fan of twilight. I just don’t find it all that interesting to read. It’s filled with descriptions of how “intense Edward’s gaze is” etc. etc…my Dad actually thought I was reading something inappropriate…

Great article Giselle, I love the paranormal genre and vampires are my favorite subjects. The Sookie Stackhouse books are some of my favorites, she’s built such a rich and in depth world. Plus, I used to live in the south in a town much like Bon Temps and that culture is so spot on it’s scary lol.

Twilight is a great read for a bit of fun. I tend to re-read it anytime I need a little pick me up, it’s like junk food for me.

I also recently finished Sunshine by Robin McKinley which had a very unique and interesting take on the vampire/human dynamic.

Awesome write-up! Am very interested in The Strain, as I have heard some great things already. I’m leery of The Historian due to the partial letter telling of the story. I have always had difficulty making it through stories like that because they tend to get boring for me. Though, I have to say, your recommendation does make it sound tempting…maybe I can get passed the whole letter bit and give it a go.

Thanks for the post.

Great compilation, Giselle! Of these, I’ve only read Bram Stoker’s Dracula and the Twilight series. Looking forward to reading your other suggestions.
