The Most Recent Phenomenon Called Vampire Books

By Jeman Duff


The most recent phenomenon in fantasy fictional works, regardless of whether they be in books, movie, or a TV show, deals with the theme of vampires. Yes, we've had horror classic stories during the 1800s including Bram Stoker's Dracula. We've also had Dracula movies every few years. But this theme has actually gained popularity in the last decade, especially after the Twilight series of Stephenie Meyer came out.

From then on, you can see vampire themes in many of the recent releases within the Young Adults category. There is certainly a specific thing about the vampire character in the more popular vampire books that truly adds mystery and intrigue in the plot of the story.

An additional favorite author who writes vampire books is Charlaine Harris, and her books are better known to be the Sookie Stackhouse novels due to her main character, Sookie Stackhouse. What makes her special from the other lead characters in other books is her ability to hear what other individuals are thinking in their thoughts.

This unique character finds this skill really exhausting simply because all she truly wants to do is to live a normal life as an average barmaid in a sleepy town in Louisiana. The twist in the plot comes in when she sees the only one person whose mind she can't read, and that would be Bill Compton, who happens to be a vampire.

These books have been placed inside the genre of horror, but they've exhibited just a little bit of thrill and romance, too. Since it has actually grown very popular among readers, this series of stories has also been translated into a TV series that is also very famous, and that's the True Blood series. This HBO Television series also has acquired followers now, and you'll be able to even get to watch True Blood online should you didn't catch its showing during the time it was shown within your region.
