I dislike Rice. Try Kerrelyn Sparks, Love at Stacks for a romance type, The Vampire de Sade series, or Laurell K Hamilton's Anite Blake series. The Anita Blake series was also turned into a comic book. For a more demonic vampire, try I Am Legend or Salem's Lot.

Salem's Lot is some crucial stuff. I saw the movie and read the book. I really don't care much for vampires in literature, but that is some dank shit.

Yeah, Salems' Lot is the best vampire book in my opinion.
I have a friend who used to be a real gang member and really hurt people however who swears by the Anne Rice books. My sister likes them too.

Dhampir by Barb & J.C. Hendee is excellant one. It's the first in an ongoing series called Noble Dead. It seems like it's about hunting but you soon find out it really isn't. Pluss it's ttally different to the "mainstream" type vampire stuff with all the gothic overtones and the modern/18th-ish century setting. It has a sort of fantasy setting is one of the best books I've read, as are the rest of the series.

I've purchased Tale of the Body Theif and it's on my list, but there are three more books on the list ahead of it.
Sexy stuff. |

The Nymphos of Rocky Flats
The Nymphos of Rocky Flats and its sequels, by Mario Acevedo, feature a vampire private detective. They're amusing. Nymphos wasn't quite as funny as the title suggested, but it was a fun read. The sequels are X-Rated Bloodsuckers and The Undead Kama Sutra.

Guess I was wrong.
Vampires are so trite.

Off Topic:
I buy my "Invader Zim" underwear, tank tops and shoes at "Hot Topic" and they certainly aren't vampire-ish.
Pah.

I read that at 13 and it was good. I read it at 25 and it scared the eggrolls out of me. *shrug* King can write.... It is a really good vampire book.

The Mona Lisa (Awakens maybe be vol I, can't remember) series by Sunny is good, I think... not typical supernatural.
Its new though, only two books out, maybe a third is about to come out or just did.
