non-romance vampire novels
« on: 02 Jun 2009, 19:17 »
So I just watched the season of "true blood"

I liked it overall but the 1st two episodes were like most of the vampire novels I read.  Sweet mortal girl meets an ethical vampire and falls in love.

I wonder if there are any vampire novels that are just about vampires?  The most I can think of is Sunshine and a couple of the Anne Rice books (and Dracula I assume though I never read the whole thing).

Any suggestions?

Nightwatch and Daywatch...The Historian. That's all I could think of off the top of my head.

They Thirst
It has a biker named Kobra who turns into a vampire who uses a broomstick Mauser.

Thirteen Bullets is free online and you can buy it in novel form.  Almost unstoppable vampire.

I though "I Vampire" was decent this might not be what you are looking for.

The only good vampire novel I have read is Dracula - the others just don't measure up.

I thought The Historian was rather poor - it started off slow and then about halfway or two thirds of the way through it felt like the author realised it was time to get to the climax and just jumped straight there. I wouldn't recommend it.
