Alex Van Helsing: Vampire Rising

Alex Van Helsing: Vampire Rising

The cool thing about vampires being so popular is that there are more and more vampire books coming out (which totally kicks ass). One of the best things about all of these vamp books is that there’s this massive mix of everything – something for adults, kids, teens, tweens, boys, girls… etc. Unfortunately, many of …

Jane Bites Back: A Vampire Novel with a Little Something for Everyone

Jane Bites Back: A Vampire Novel with a Little Something for Everyone

We’ve told you about the many spins that Jane Austen books are getting with books like Mr. Darcy, Vampyre, and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

What is a Rogue Vampire?

What is a Rogue Vampire?

There’s not a lot written about rogue vampires and that’s precisely the way they want it. Rogue vampires are just that – they are a special kind of evil, will easily turn on their own kind, and are generally loners. What’s known about rogue vampires is little. This is partly because rogue vampires are rarer …

For seven years, Buffy and the Scooby gang kicked, sliced and staked countless vampires, demons and monsters in the hit show ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer.’ The show’s last season ended years ago in 2003 but it still has a huge fan base and I am betting some of you fans are wondering what ever happened …

Dead Romeo

Dead Romeo

Dead Romeo has nothing to do with Romeo and Juliet – although with all the popular historical/supernatural remakes someone will probably make a vampire Juliet and a werewolf Romeo. Anyway, Dead Romeo is actually an amazing graphic novel by Jesse Blaze Snider. Vampire comics ftw! “Jonathan Romero, aka “Dead Romeo,” was the lead singer of …

Cirque du Freak: Reminiscing & Reviewing

Cirque du Freak: Reminiscing & Reviewing

The Saga of Darren Shan, made into a film… wow. That was all I could think about when the previews first started popping up all over the place. I first started reading the novels way back in 2000, when the first came out. I never actually finished the series, because I’m one of those unfortunate …

As predicted, Elena was snatched, along with Bonnie, in order to make a trade: the grimoire for Elena. The difference is, that despite all manner of begging from Stefan, Damon isn’t going …

Today’s post comes from the wonderful Michele Hauf over at VampChix.

Vampires Coming to the Private Practice!

Vampires Coming to the Private Practice!

Vampires haven’t just invaded prime time, they’ve also made their way into medical dramas.
