David Mitchell - Takes you to the mystical East
Margaret Atwood - Prose is unsurpassed
Douglas Coupland - wacky
Irvine Welsh - dark and dirty
George McDonald Fraser - incredibly funny
and of course....
Lee Child - perfect when you want some mindless violence and can't be bothered to be intellectually challenged

Hey there Woodland Nymph, I am exactly the same. I love the Vampire Chronicles, but do not like any of her other work. Actually I think the vampire chronicles start off on fire and get a little bit weaker with each new book. Still I believe they are way above all of the other "Vampire Literature".Woodland Nymph wrote:Anne Rice, even though I've never been able to finish any of her novels outside of the Vampire Chronicles.

I have just given a birthday gift to a friend entitled "The Inheritance" by Robin Hobb and Megan Lindholm only to discover that she is one and the same. Yet she writes modern fantasies and epic trilogies in two different styles.Gannon wrote:Hey there Woodland Nymph, I am exactly the same.

That certainly says something about the genre. I find it amazing how bad most vampire literature is, considering how much potential the genre has. So far, the only good vampire literature I have read are Bram Stoker's classic Dracula and Stephen King's Salem's Lot.Gannon wrote: Still I believe they are way above all of the other "Vampire Literature".

When I said vampire Lit, I meant modern literature. I don't know about Salem's Lot (I have not read it for a long long time) but Bram Stoker's Dracula is one of my favourite books, regardless of it being about a vampire.Sophius wrote:That certainly says something about the genre.
