High Fantasy Meets Gothic Horror Vampire Fiction
The Necroscope Series
Books By Brian Lumley
If you like your vampires viscious, bloody, gory and totally without any sense of remorse or empathy for the human cattle upon which they prey, then the Brian Lumley's Necroscope series is for you.
These books are something of a cross between a cold war espionage novel and horror fiction as they are based around the exploits of our hero the Necroscope Harry Keogh and the British E-Branch (a secret government agency which employs psychics of various abilities) and their battles against the Russian equivalent as well as various evils which walk the earth.
The Necroscope series is both complex and unique in its imaginative exploration of ESPionage and the ancient evil vampires which these espers reluctantly must face in their bid to protect humanity from a scourge which threatens to break out in a world of unbelievers.

Some Of The Most Viscious, Twisted, Evil Vampires In Modern Fiction
The Vampire Chronicles
Novels By Anne Rice
Not your typical throat-ripping yarn, this is the series which revitalised the vampire genre back when the first book in the series Interview With The Vampire was released back in the mid 1970's.

Moody Angst Ridden Vampire Tales
Vampire World Trilogy
Novels By Brian Lumley
Continuing on from The Necroscope series, the Vampire World books by Brian Lumley delve deeper into the depraved world of the vampire lords and ladies he created, this time back in their own world beyond the gate.
The Vampire World trilogy consists of Blood Brothers, The Last Aerie and Bloodwars and is almost guaranteed to be some of the most inventive and horrific vampire fiction you will have read.

A Truly Visceral Vampire Experience
The Southern Vampire Mysteries
Vampire Novels By Charlaine Harris
Vampires are out of the closet (coffin?) and living among us in The Southern Vampire Mysteries. Our heroine Sookie Stackhouse is even dating one and loving the fact that for once, she can not read his mind which whilst a pain in most instances (especially relationshipwise) becomes highly useful in her night job of solving murders in the big city.
Placed somewhere between the Dresden Files and Kim Harrison's novels, The Southern Vampire mysteries are fun and have recently been adapted into an excellent HBO TV series called True Blood.

Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series
By Laura K. Hamilton
Vampirism has been legalised in just one state which naturally makes it a haven for vampires amongst other things. So long as they abide by the rules, vampires are free to walk among us.
For those who do not, there's only one punishment - execution...and that's where Anita Blake steps in.
Fast paced, with a fair amount of sexual tension which in later books will firmly place this series in the supernatual erotica genre, these books are an entertaining vampire romp.

The Dresden Files
by Jim Butcher
Fast paced and action packed this is more the tale of a wizard in modern day Chicago than it is a straight out vampire novel but vampires feature so prevalently in the books this is a series which is definitely worth a mention or two.

Harry Dresden Wizard Books
The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyers
The pinnacle of teen vampire fiction, Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga has sold over 50 million copies worldwide (as of 2008) and has a huge fanbase of loyal fans. The Twilight movie is due for a US theatrical release date of November 21st 2008 and looks set to be just as popular as the books. As young adult vampire fantasy novels go, Twilight seems to have revitalised the genre and it looks like teenager vampire books are seeing a resurgeance based upon its success.

- I know of a great new series by a new and up and coming author named Steve Russell, the series is called Jacyn's Journey and its a must read. I absolutely could not put the books down. He's truly a talented writer. You can find the series at www.jacyns-journey.com. He takes the time to talk to his fans and is even putting together a roleplay section for those who enjoy roleplay. You should really check it out.

- Amazing lens! For eons now, I have been a huge fan of the Necroscope series ... and the rest of Brian Lumley books for that matter. It was so hard to find the books around here when they first came out ... long before the Internet explosion - I have fond memories of frantically trying to hunt down each of them with my mother (who was also a huge fan)!
An amazing twist on your standard vampires - no other series compares!
