Vampires - The Occult Truth (Llewellyn truth about series)Vampires - The Occult Truth (Llewellyn truth about series) by Konstantinos
Buy new: £6.84 / Used from: £2.34
This guy seems to have watched a few vampire movies, doesn't seem to know a lot about the occult though - dreadful
The Vampire (Dorset Classic Reprints)The Vampire (Dorset Classic Reprints) by Montague Summers
Buy used from: £10.81
given who summers was, a historical curio - though it does contain excellent source material
The Complete Book of VampiresThe Complete Book of Vampires by Leonard R.N. Ashley
Buy used from: £0.77
a good source book for movie vampires - expect very little useful information regarding folklore
The League of Extraordinary GentlemenThe League of Extraordinary Gentlemen by Alan Moore
Buy new: £7.49 / Used from: £4.36
I umm'd and rrr'd about adding this. Not exactly a vamp book - but it does have Mina Murray in the cast of characters - therefore listed by technicality but one of the finest graphic novels I've read
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Book 2: Bk. 2The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Book 2: Bk. 2 by Alan Moore
Buy used from: £8.48
The same clash of conscience, but we still have Mina, and I love the way they've illustrated her wounds recieved from Dracula.
Hellsing: v. 1 (Hellsing)Hellsing: v. 1 (Hellsing) by Kohta Hirano
Buy new: £5.90 / Used from: £1.66
The manga of the anime, good stuff
Scarlet Thirst (Red Hot Diva)Scarlet Thirst (Red Hot Diva) by Crin Claxton
Buy used from: £0.01
an erotic novel - but the story is excellent - worth being in any vamp collection
Blood MemoriesBlood Memories by Barb Hendee
Buy used from: £1.24
An interesting short novel, with some good ideas - definitely worth reading
VampyresVampyres by Tim Greaves
Buy new: £5.39 / Used from: £1.37
A 2001 novelisaton of the 1974 cult classic movie. A worthwhile read, that is a little more explicit than the film.
NocturneNocturne by Elaine Bergstrom
Buy used from: £3.00
An excellent book by the author of Mina, I look forward to getting the earlier Austra family novels
Lilith's DreamLilith's Dream by Whitley Strieber
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.22
the third book in Strieber's series. A nice conclusion, though it lacked a little something from the first two books. Worthwhile.
SabellaSabella by Tanith Lee
Buy used from: £0.01
A short work, but Tanith Lee's evocative writing make it wonderful. Nice to have sci-fi and vampires mixing properly.
Children of the NightChildren of the Night by Dan Simmons
Buy used from: £0.01
Very interesting modern re-telling of Dracula merging action with science, cancer and HIV/AIDS, the fall of Romanian communism and, of course, Dracula
The Lost BoysThe Lost Boys by Craig Shaw Gardner
Buy used from: £14.40
average novelisation of the movie, the film is better, but worthwhile for fans
MerrickMerrick by Anne Rice
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01
More a Talamasca book than a vampire chronicle this is actually a worthy addition to the chronicles, less flowery than some of those offerings before
Blood and Gold: The Vampire Marius (The vampire chronicles)Blood and Gold: The Vampire Marius (The vampire chronicles) by Anne Rice
Buy new: £5.47 / Used from: £2.68
With this Anne Rice's chronicles are really back on form, but my oh my can Marius whine, more so than Louis!
Cirque du Freak (The Saga of Darren Shan)Cirque du Freak (The Saga of Darren Shan) by Darren Shan
Buy used from: £0.01
I do like some children's books (Pullman, Nix etc) this seemed a little flat with none of the adult nuances I expected - not as good as the hype
Blackwood Farm (Vampire Chronicles)Blackwood Farm (Vampire Chronicles) by Anne Rice
Buy used from: £0.01
Ghosts, vampires and witches - Anne Rice is back on form with this excellent addition to the chronicles
Blood Canticle (The Vampire Chronicles)Blood Canticle (The Vampire Chronicles) by Anne Rice
Buy new: £15.29 / Used from: £1.93
Not as good as blood and gold or blackwood farm but very interesting - at last Lestat speaks again
Minion (Vampire Huntress Legend)Minion (Vampire Huntress Legend) by L. A. Banks
Buy used from: £5.75
Not bad, though it ends abruptly without reaching any form of climax - no Anita Blake
