VAMPIRES DON'T SPARKLE discussion

We've already discussed the non-fictional books on vampire folklore. How about some fictional books? Well, here's a series that I've discovered, is quite popular right now, and is very good...

I have those books on my "to read" list. They look very interesting and I'm looking forward to reading them.

Oh they are so good, Lucy. Perfect for you and the people in this group.

I'd like to add some of my favourite vampire novels:
Bottomfeeder, Nightblood, Afterage, Enter, Night

and for series:

Vampire Apocalypse: A World Torn Asunder, Way of the Wolf

I hope to see more interesting recommendations here to add to my list!

Those look cool. I'll have to check them out.

Hi, all. Earlier, I mentioned Grace Krilanovich's The Orange Eats Creeps. Please, do check out this debut novel from a very talented young author.

"The Orange Eats Creeps contains the hallucinatory, disjointed, plotless, yet bizarrely charming ravings of a young refugee from foster care who now belongs to a pack of teenage hobo vampires that rove convenience stores and supermarkets high on Robitussin and mop buckets of coffee."—Newsday

I will have to add Tender Loving Care and The Keep to my tbr shelf.

I have read Interview with the Vampire and The Vampier Lestat and enjoyed them both.

The Wolf's Hour Michael Gallatin, werewolf spy from WWII.


Burden Kansas by Alan Ryker and its follow up were both crazy. Plus, the cover is cool.


For a good helping of humor with your werewolf, I would recommend:

WOLF HUNT was outrageous (in a good way!)... I hear there's a sequel planned. BURDEN KANSAS was a great read! I bought the sequel, BLOOD TELLS TRUE, but haven't gotten to it yet.

Hey, I've been looking for a good werewolf book. I'll have to add those to my list.

I hope you enjoy them, Dan, and I thought of one more: Fevre Dream by George R. R. Martin.
Vampires on the Mississippi in the 1850's.
:)

George R.R. Martin???!! They guy who wrote Game of Thrones wrote a vampire book? It must be pretty good.

I didn't know he wrote a vampire novel!! (After Sandkings, I tried to research whatever I could find by him..)

Yup, here it is. Can't wait to get my hands on that.

Dan wrote: " Yup, here it is. Can't wait to get my hands on that."

I just added it to the "want-too-read" list. BTW, great review, Charlene!!

Oh, thank you! Really, I think any vampire fan would enjoy this unique story. :)

I think that's the same way I found him, Kimberly. I loved Sandkings so much that I tried to get my hands on more works by him. This was way before the whole Game of Thrones thing. But I do love those too. Well, most of them, anyway. :)

Okay, I'm now about 60% through HAG NIGHT by Tim Curran, and can happily report that none of the vampire-type-creatures here sparkle in any way!! :)

LOL...let's hope that no one else ever comes along and makes them sparkle ever again.

LOL--no, these creatures are exactly what they "should" be!! :)

I have no idea why I was posting werewolf books! I must have had them on the brain.

I thought of a couple more old school vampire books. Has anyone read them?

The Light at the End by Skipp & Spector

They Thirst by Robert McCammon.

These are both 80s novels, and I think The Light at the End was widely considered to be the first splatterpunk novel.

THEY THIRST was awesome! But I love all things McCammon.. :)

They Thirst WAS awesome! I just love McCammon myself. I really do. :)

We need to do a "buddy re-read" of one of his books! (I've never done the buddy-read before).

I'll keep that in mind Kimberly. Buddy reads are always good for a group.

I would be up for that, Kimberly!

Alright, it won't be anytime soon but we will set a time for us to read THEY THIRST as a buddy read. :)

Yes, we will read it. I don't know when, but soon. I will have to get myself a copy of They Thirst. Don't worry, I won't forget.

My all-time favorite vampire novels are:

This is a classic and should definitely be read if you are into vampire fiction!

I love Stephen King!

I did not like I am Legend but Salem's Lot is awesome!

I didn't know where to post this, but that full banner up top featuring Ms. Meyer's The Host has GOT TO GO.

You could have posted in in the "Hate Twilight" thread, but that's cool. I agree, I hate seeing that everywhere.
