Any vampire fictions or series worth reading?

I like the "Real Vampires" stories about Glory St. Clair. It is a whole different take on Vampire novels. It's not like Twilight but it is a great series. They are by Gerry Bartlett. They are based in Texas too! Love them. The first one is called Real Vampires Have Curves.

I have to say I found Twilight extremely disappointing - aimed at romantic teenage girls. Ann Rice is probably the one you should read, but after Twilight you will find it extremely adult. Carpe Jugulum, as mentioned above, is an hilarious approach from the world's premier satirical humourist, Terry Pratchett. Igor (and in one case Igorina) appears in several other Pratchett books as well. Lash

From what I've read about them, the Twilight books are for teens/young adults, so I don't know if you'd want more adult stuff. But Ann Rice's books are fascinating. There's a whole series around Lestat and other vampires. Laurell K. Hamilton has written a series about Anita Blake and her involvement with vampires. Very well written and intense. I haven't read all of them, but I really like the ones I managed to find at my local library. And don't forget the great classic, Dracula, if you have the patience for more old-fashioned language.

I read one of Ann Rice's books called The Bodysnatcher and it was pretty good. It was about a vampire switching bodies with some a human being. It was a pretty good book and if you are interested in vampire books I would say that Ann Rice is a pretty good author.

Ok, these aren't necessarily "vampire" books, but they're semi-sci-fi, semi-love story, and generally considered "teen" novels that I've read and LOVED. I liked Twilight, too, so maybe you'll like these as well. Blood and Chocolate - Annette Curtis Clause . It's actually a book about a "werewolf" chick who falls in love with a mortal. It's actually really good! It used to be one of my most favorite books; and it's way better than my lame description of it. You should check it out! It reminds me of Twilight mainly because of the contrast in characters; and the whole idea of "opposites attracting". Definitely a good read! In The Forests of the Night - Amelia Attwater-Rhodes (I might be spelling this wrong). I know this is another series, and I can't quite remember if they've vampires necessarily - but I remember really loving these books when I was back in high school. Daughters of the Moon - Lynn Ewing. This is another series that isn't necessarily about vampires, but it's a teen series about supernatural girls.. It's very cool stuff! I think there might be like one vampire in the later series. At any rate, I hope my suggestions help you out. I know they're not really totally vampire-related, but hopefully you're open-minded! They're aweosme books!

Dracula is THE classic. Laurel K Hamilton's Anita Blake books are an easy read although the earlier ones are the best and then she loses it later. Stephen King's Salem's Lot is a great book but don't expect any teen romance vampires in that one. Truly a horror story. My favourite of all is Terry Pratchett's Carpe Jugulum.
