I’ve read two interesting vampire novels lately. Actually, I’ve read a lot of novels lately, some absolute dreck, some not too bad. The winter vacation left me bored, as it always does, so I ferreted out a very comprehensive, very well-thought out and very long list of fantasy novel recommendations on the internet, and proceeded to read my way through it.
Anyhow, vampire novels. I’ll be honest, I love vampires. I love vampire novels, and I’ve been known to read utter trash if there’s a vampire in it (I read sixteen books of Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter, and am now compelled to gravely doubt my own sanity whenever I recall that fact). I even read Twilight, but shhhh, we shall not talk of Twilight. Fun as a good trashy urban fantasy novel of the read-and-throw type can be, at the end of the day most of them are, well, read-and-throw. It’s hard to find a vampire novel that actually has brains (and no, that’s not a zombie joke). Which makes these two books a pleasurable find.
