Silver Under Nightfall by Rin Chupeco is a 2022 release that has an interesting take on vampires, science, political intrigue, and polyamory. I really enjoyed it!
I will have to look into it, its sounds really good
Thank you for this video and all the research you had to have done to put it together. I appreciate it and was able to add a few new books to my TBR. 😊
Thank you! 🥰 im glad you found a few books!
This was such a great and informative video! I loved Carmilla but had never heard of Olalla. I must pick up a copy!
It is a good little tale
I really enjoyed this, am a fan of the vampire genre😊as well. The copy of Dracula is gorgeous!! I need to reread it. I haven't yet read Carmilla, Netflix's Castlevania has a character named for her. I also enjoyed Stephen King's Salem's lot and the Grady Hendrix. Interview with a vampire is on my tbr 😊.🦹🦇
So glad you enjoyed it ☺️
I've just started Interview with a Vampire and it is amazing
Great video and list of books! I started reading Anne Rice's Vampire books as a teen in the 80's and fell in love with the more gothic style for vampires. I really enjoyed the New Orleans and French settings. I'm tempted to go back and re-read them, but I'm concerned that my reading tastes have changed. However, Anne set the tone for vampires in my mind. I have read quite a few modern vampire books and don't mind how they are portrayed, but I miss the darker tone. Although, Grady's Vampire was a tad too dark - a good read, but I don't want to go there again.
Some of your recommendations sound intriguing - especially Carmilla.
Thanks again!
Thank you so much!
I can see why Anne Rice had such an influence, Interview With the Vampire is stunning, I adored it so much (read it shortly after this video).
My favourite vampire story is Salems Lot by Stephen King. It still creeps me out a bit now and I’ve read it soooo many times.
I really need to give Stephen King a try 😅
I haven’t read any vampire books but I love the Dracula films.
Great vlog and interesting how it has evolved over time.
🧛♂️
I agree, its interesting to see how things have adapted over time
Hi Kirsten, you do these deep dive so well. I've dabbled in vampire stories but it genrally hasn't gone well. Interview with the Vampire (book & movie) scared me. Then I read an urban fantasy interpretation by Robin Mckinley called Sunshine. This showed me I don't like this sub genre. I hate having to do my "Twilight defense" but its been the one interpretation of the creature as a main character so far that i've been comfortable with because of the Cullan's morality. Plus, I need the kills written sutlely. The vampires in The Once Upon a Broken Heart series aren't bothering me because they're side characters. Now that I'm getting into more historical fiction I'll look up The Historian and The Beautiful.
Thank you Amy
I get that, we all have genres we prefer to read
@@ReadingNymph I put Carmilla on my TBR for next Victober. I've been wanting to try JSL as another light gothic author.
Looking forward to reading some of these amazing books 📚 thank you 🙏 ❤❤
Hope you enjoy it!
@@ReadingNymph so do I
interview with the vampire is good, but the second book of the series (vampire Lestat) is perfect! is one of my favorites vampire books 💜
Thats good to know, I have heard that the first book tends to be the favourite, its good to hear someone enjoy the 2nd book more
Love the timeline you give! I need to read Dracula and Carmilla. The Deathless Girls cover is beautiful!!! The Dowry of Blood is on my TBR, but I keep not picking it up. I did not enjoy The Southern Bookclubs Guide to Killing Vampires. I think it was more that I don't tend to enjoy Grady Hendrix (😬I know) then it was the actual story. I really enjoyed pieces of House of Hunger, but I wish it would have went a little deeper into the vampire aspect of the story. "They're not good books!" 🤣 Tell us how you really feel.
I dont particularly like Grady Hendrix either 😕
Great video! Vampires are definitely my favorite creature.
They are so fascinating
I love that version of Dracula u have ! Where did u get that version?
Its a Penguin Deluxe Classics edition ♥️
Thank you for this. I’d like to introduce to you a wonderful more secret series. I say secret bc young people don’t know about it. Kim Newman has written an Anno Dracula series in the 1990s. The new thirtieth anniversary edition came out recently with an introduction by Neil Gaiman. He imagines Dracula survived Stoker’s story and humans and vampires coexist in Victorian England. All the Dracula characters have a reemergence as well as all the favorite characters from the literature of the period.
Ah yes I have read the first book in the series, but ages ago 😅 I completely forgot haha, it was one I liked but not one I wanted to continue the series with
My current favorite vamp books are the Crave series books 🤗
Ooh I forgot about those, I haven't read them
⚰️🧛♂️ Susan Sizemore does vampire romance. The fated mate trope. I love it.
Nice! I haven't heard of her books
🧛⚰🩸 great video, you've done good research :)
Thank you so much 🌟
❤📚🧛♂️❤ I read Interview With a Vampire years ago and loved it!
I can't wait to read it 😍
Great video! I love anything Vampire related! Dracul and The Beautiful sound great I’ll have to read them soon!
