a few days ago, Bosco brought to our attention, a Vampire flick (Let

There is a short story around that they wrote together that includes

Yarbro's vampire is undead, but is in the

Alas, when he died, I
My favorite vampire book is The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice, which
is The Godfather 2 to her Godfather 1, the novel-other-wise-known-
as Interview with the Vampire. The image of Lestat's repentant and

Like Martin and I said, i'm tiring of the suave, young vampire as hunk
nowadays. I'm also not a real big fan of vampyrs. Nothing against them, just
not in love with the genre. So my list is relatively small:
Nosferatu - one of the first and one of the best
Dracula (1931) - Bela Lugosi as the

The book you described sounds like Agyar by Steven Brust. He also has
some pretty unique vampires in his Vlad Taltos series.
Good call on The Vampire Tapestry. It's a great book.
Some of my faves:
The Blood series by Tanya Huff. Henry Fitzroy is a romance writer in
Toronto. He's also the
One of the stories I forgot to mention in my first post is Neil
Gaiman's Snow, Glass, Apples. It's a very original take on Snow

Fred Saberhagen's Dracula series is good too.

Not very well. The books were much bigger in scope and Henry wasn't
the typical fey vampire.
Plus the way the series ended is one of the most heartbreaking things
