I have several people who come to the desk to ask for books about vampires. Vampire books are so hot right now. For the people out there who’ve been wanting something new and haven’t asked yet, here’s the beginning of the list I’ve been working on. I’ll get to some newer, more obscure books in the next couple of days.

Let’s start with the classics. If you didn’t read Bram Stoker’s Dracula in high school, you’ve likely seen the movie. This edition of the classic novel is hauntingly illustrated. While Dracula wasn’t the first book about vampires, it was, and remains, a hit.

After Bram Stoker, I always think Anne Rice.  Maybe you saw the blockbuster Interview with the Vampire starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt? It was a book first, and an entertaining one at that. Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles series starts with Interview with a Vampire, and continues:

2. The Vampire Lestat
3. The Queen of the Damned
4. Tale of the Body Thief
5. Memnoch the Devil
6. The Vampire Armand
7. Merrick
8. Blood and Gold: or, The Story of Marius
9. Blackwood Farm
10. Blood Canticle
