Jilli, I don't know if anyone's recommended them yet, but Barbara Hambly has a couple (at least) of really good vampire books out, one is called "Traveling With the Dead" and I can't remember the other. They are really good, set in the 19th century (I think) so they have that kind of morality/science/horror feel, with some mystery. Good stuff, cool vampires, not really sexy though.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sigh. I went to the used bookstore last week, and bought a whole bag of books. I think I have two left. They go by too fast! Plus, I've now read about 5 of the Nevada Barr books. Which are fun. It's great when you find a new author you like and there's already a number of books by him/her to read....but I really should ration them better or something.

Those Who Hunt the Night. Yep, got 'em both. They are part of the collection that other vampire books get judged against.

Are her books out of print? Because I couldn't find her or either of the titles mentioned listed on Amazon.

Actually, I lied about the not sexy part, or at least didn't state myself properly- the vampires themselves are sexy, but there's not a lot of vampire sex. Mark- I don't think she's out of print. I usually just get her from the library. She has a ton of great stuff though- love her! I know she's published stuff quite recently, but the vampire ones are older.

sj, she's got 72 hits on Amazon. Did you maybe misspell her name?

I copied and pasted from what was posted here. I found her on Amazon.co.uk, but not regular amazon.

Thanks, Deena. Maybe amazon was having trouble when I was trying earlier. Sleep well.
