My favorite portrayal of vampires is that they can turn into bats. For some reason, I really like bats. They're cute and creepy at the time.

@"Nren"Nren wrote:Vampire stories are the sort of stories that appeal to any reader of fantasy and paranormal books, however they have been so overdone at this point I have found that it is difficult for me to get into them unless they have a very novel and interesting spin on the subject of vampires, have very intriguing or mysterious characters, or are extremely well written. Twilight was one of the first vampire stories I enjoyed. Since then I found myself able to enjoy Vampire Academy books, and books from the Captive series, perhaps because I have always struggled to resist very strong female leads. Otherwise, my preference is for stories that have "less done" paranormal elements--Trolls, mermaids, faeries, mythological creatures or creatures rooted in little known folklore.
Have you read Seanan McGuire's October Daye series?
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.
