Nowt wrong with Vampires.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

True. Well, except sparkly ones.

But they're just depressed kids pretending

I've put Orley Farm on my 'to read' list, Mad. I think I'd like that.

Which zombie books Chris?

Ghost & Bouncy have you read any of Ann Rices' vampire books? Esp. the ones with the vampire Lestat ?

I'm still reading Edgar Mint.

chris.ph, I dunno whether you'll bother reading my post, but if you want a genuine suggestion for a zombie book, then I suggest Handling the Undead, by John Ajvide Lindqvist of Let the Right One In fame. It's pretty good, but, like Let the Right One In, highly disturbing. In fact, the story tends to be more about normal people's reactions to the zombies being revived than the zombies themselves who, while dangerous, are not infectious or malevolent.

Ive a fairly decent collection of the Anne Rice books. They started to suck when she crossed them with the witches but the other ones were pretty good. Quite liked The Tail of the Body Thief, Memnoch the Devil, and Blood and Gold (because Marius was always the most interesting of the older vampires).

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Never read any Anne Rice.

Currently switched to the Armageddon trilogy by Robert Rankin (Kindle).

The Tail of the Body Thief is a fav of mine as well. I've only read the Lestat books and the Mayfair Witches. I tried a couple of her other vampire ones but didn't get into them.

John Ajvide Lindqvist's Let the Right One In is maybe my favourite all-time vampire book. I recommend it but I don't think it would be for everyone. As good as it is it's disturbing as Q has already said. Ditto Handling the Undead. He's quite original in his writing.

Anyhoo, happy reading all the same.

Non Lestat wise, Blood and Gold and Pandora were probably the only ones I really enjoyed.

Let the Right One In was fantastic but I'll still go traditional and say Dracula and Carmilla are the two best Vampire tales (nothing to do with them being written by Irishmen I swear)

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I bought (very cheaply) a DVD of Let The Right One In, and quite frankly, I found it very amusing.

Apparently, I'm not supposed to do that!!

We'll watch you a bit more carefully from now on

My top three vampire books are Let the Right One In, Dracula, and Anno Dracula (the Kim Newman novel).

Just started Takedown Twenty by Janet Evanovich.

I'm reading "Hemlock at Vespers" by Peter Tremayne, a collection of short stories in his Sister Fidelma series. They are about a mid 7th Century Irish nun and solver of mysteries. Enjoying it so far.
