Director Guillermo del Toro has announced plans to write a trilogy of vampire novels with crime author Chuck Hogan.
BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Del Toro to release book trilogy.
I love what Del Toro has done with Hellboy and I’m quite excited that he’ll be working on the Hobbit. Not sure what to make of the fact that it’s a collaboration
My favourite vampire books in order of preference I’d say are:
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice
EDIT: I forgot Charlie Hutson’s Already Dead. Doh!
and I think I’ve run out at that. Maybe I’ve read more and I’ve blanked them out? Anyone else have a fave?
The Brian Lumley books (Necroscope, etc.) are really good, but I kind of burned out on them. I’m going to be starting a series by a guy named Jonathan Maberry. They feature werewolves and vampires and my Dad claims they’re the best he’s read in years. The first one is titled “Bad Moon Rising.”
I’ve heard of the Necrosope books. I read a review somewhere that really put me off and I can’t think of what it was… I might now have to try them
I like the sound of Bad Moon Rising. Could you let us know how you get on?
Thanks.
It’s difficult to get hold of a copy but Robert McCammon’s ‘They Thirst’ (a vampire coven takes over LA) is the best vampire book I’ve read
I’ve never been one for vampire stuff (that would be for my better half), I do like del Toro’s work in recent years. We’ll see how it turns out and what the early reviewers are saying before I invest in them.
@ Graeme – It keeps coming back every now and again if Amazon is to be believed. I’ve just seen a copy of it for £60! :O
@ Mark – I hope it would be packed with myth and magic and imagination but we’ll have to see.
Oh and I’ve been an idiot I’ve just remembered another one and I’ve added it to the post
Looks like your question thing at the end of the post worked. Also not having to sign in is nice too. Good job. Nice list. Thanks.
