What to read... what to read..... a trend we are seeing with our school and library orders this year is the frequency and variety of Vampire Novels being produced for and consumed by our fledgling teens. You won't find me complaining about it or worried there is some deep underside that spells doom for newest generation of readers, because I myself am a fan of the well written vampire book. Fantasy seems to be what we need right now and as I read the list of new releases bearing down on us this spring I am most ready, excited and even a bit fearful of "
The Strain". Sounds practically too good to be true if you read all the promotional material.
Director Del Toro (of the Oscar winning "
Pan's Labyrinth") makes a dramatic splash in his fiction debut, the first volume in a vampires vs. humanity trilogy, coauthored with Hogan of "
Prince of Thieves". Check out what he has to say
about his life long passion with Vampires. The advance buzz has worked on me, and I've already got an order in for "
The Strain"
My vampire reading buddy (a.k.a Julia) tells me there is an even better series out right now that all the "Twilight" fans may want to try called "
The Vampire Academy". Four in the series so far and I've been selling it like hot-cakes to my libraries. Marketed to the young adult crowd.
If perhaps you want a more adult foray into the sexy vampire world, don't forget the Charlaine Harris "
Southern Vampire" series featuring a really fun main character, Sookie Stackhouse. They're really irreverent, in your face, sexy and fun. Even if you like the HBO adaption of the novels "
True Blood" which I happen to really like too, you will want to read them or you'll miss a lot of the story line.
