I read alot of Vampire books, but currently I've run out of books to read. I've read Vampire Kisses, The Morganville Vampires, Interview with the Vampire, and a few others. If you know any good vampire books, please let me know.

Not a good technical vampire novel series but the Blue Bloods novels are good. Different idea of vampires at least

[Soul Dreamer]

hmmmmm... well i will try them. thank you.

[Rigel]

Definitely read the rest of the Vampire Chronicles (Interview with the Vampire's series). There are other Anne Rice stories you'll have to read to get full context on everything (such as The Witching Hour and its sequels), but they're worth it. All of her main series writing is worth reading if you like her style.

[Soul Dreamer]

any chance you can tell me the order in which the anne rice books go in? i perfer to read the books in order. please?

[Rico]

Actualy, I can help you with that one, since I've read them not long ago :
Interview with a vampire
The vampire Lestat
The Queen of the damned
The tale of the body thief (or something like that)
Memnoch the Demon (or devil, I actualy forgot, because it was the one book that took me like 2 months to read because it just wasn't good to me.)
The Vampire Armand
Merrick
Blood and Gold
Blackwood Farm
Blood Canticle
As far as I know these are all of them, or I missed some. There's actualy 2 more, Pandora and I forgot the other one, but I'm pretty sure they are in another serie. If someone saw I made some mistake, don't hesitate to correct me and telling me I'm an idiot.

[Soul Dreamer]

Thank you I'll have to look for them. I own one. maybe the library will have them.

[Rigel]

Yep, that's correct.
Interview with the Vampire
The Vampire Lestat
The Queen of the Damned
The Tale of the Body Thief
Memnoch the Devil
The Vampire Armand
Merrick
Blood and Gold
Blackwood Farm
Blood Canticle

Merrick, Blackwood Farm, and Blood Canticle include characters and plot from the Mayfair Witches books, which are, in order, The Witching Hour, Lasher, and Taltos. They're worth reading for more than just context. They're also amazing books in their own right.

[Soul Dreamer]

so basically all anne rice books are awesome right? not all of them are about vampires though are they? i've only read one but i liked it enough to track down a copy of it. i want to read all of them but i cant really find any. :(

[Rigel]

Nope. The Mayfair Witches books aren't about vampires until they start to crossover, which are the three that I mentioned (Merrick, etc.) and those don't actually count as Mayfair books anymore. She also writes erotica and books with strong religious undertones. The thing about Anne Rice is that her presentation of religion is a story element rather than a preachy one, so I'd never call her writing religious in nature. You'll find many allusions to Christianity and other/older religions in the Vampire Chronicles (especially Memnoch, which is a very literal walk through Hell, so the religious allusions are expected), and they serve to enhance the plot. Reading what she writes is what I can only describe as porn for the mind. It's so mentally stimulating and engaging that you always want more than she gives you and it's almost painful to put it down. I hope that you enjoy the rest of the books. Interview with the Vampire was honestly the least powerful book she's written outside of her erotica.

[Soul Dreamer]

it was the only one i've been able to find. for some reason the places i've lived in are lacking in anne rice novels. my brother got me the only book i have of hers. i think im going to chech onread for her books though. and thank you for the information. :)

[Rigel]

Sure thing. Let me know if you end up enjoying them. ^-^

[Soul Dreamer]

i will if i can find them that is. i really hope theyre on onread. i want to read them.

I tried Interview... couldn't do it, though being around 12 at the time might have had something to do with it. I know that The Vampire Lestat can be hard to find in used stores at least, as it seems to be one of the more popular books of the series. My mom has most of them but we are/were dillegent used book store goers.

I haven't read any vampire novels myself, besides I, Strahd: Memoires of a Vampire (read three times). I like the book, though I've been told it's fairly similar to Dracula, though much shorter and much less dry.

My sister really likes the Sookie Stackhouse novels, which are apparently the ones that True Blood is based on. Can't recall the author though but I'm sure google will help with that.

[Demonskid]

(I loved Anne Rice's Vampire books till it got all religous and stuff xp)

the Cirqu Du Freak books are really good :3

and Amelia Atwater-Rhodes has a few vampire books out there. Her writing style and stuff is meant for kids around 13 but they are good stories
Demon in my View and In the Forests are my favorite ones of hers.

[Soul Dreamer]

Thanks demonskid maybe I'll look into them
