Vampire Stories Anyone?

[amoonstar]

I am interested in branching out a little in my reading and reading some fiction about vampires.  A good friend of mine is just hooked on books and movies about them, and though I have never previously been too interested I want to try something new.  Any suggestions for authors?  Thanks much.  amoonstar

I love vampire, witch, werewolves, etc. books.  Here are some of my favorite authors:

Anne Rice
Kelly Armstrong not all about vampires but great female characters that are all supernatural

Jim Butcher
Jeanne Stein- just read the 1st one of these and loved it
Charlaine Harris

Also a great place to start might be a book a short stories I just read called Many Bloody Returns It has all of the above authors in it.  All the stories have the common theme of vampires and birthdays.  I loved it and it introduced me to some new authors.

Hope that helps.

You should read the "Twilight" series by Stephenie Meyer. It is really good.

I loved this series when I was younger too.. Chrisopher Pike wrote them.. They are in a new book called thirst which has several of those books in 1.  Also another good series is the House of Night by Pc cast and Kristen cast. I also am a fan of Stephanie Meyer. I couldnt put twilight down!
