The second Twilight film, New Moon has been on the minds of all Stephenie Meyer fans. We have already seen the multiple trailers and teasers, cast interviews and posters but what no one has seen yet is images of the book’s not-so-lovable Volturi (the equivalent of a royal family to vampires, they also keep other [...]

Vampyre: The Terrifying Lost Journal of Dr. Cornelius Van Helsing is an older book but totally worth mentioning. While the intended age group is 9-12 year olds it is most definitely a book for kids, teens and even adults.
