Our fascination with vampires does not seem to be abating any time soon. Movies, television show and books, especially books, are being cranked out as fast as possible to meet the rising demand. Vampire related entertainment vehicles have been big hits ever since Dracula, but never have they taken over our culture so overwhelmingly.
Vampires have always appealed mostly to females, especially teens and young adults. While looking through Amazon.com, I found 5 books about vampires, written within the past 6 months, mostly written for young women. If you are a fan of The Vampire Diaries, Twilight, or any other teenage vampire stories, you might get a kick out of these:
1. The Vampire Is Just Not That Into You - A comical take on the hit advice book He's Just Not That Into You. Undead dating specialist Vlad Mezrich has all the answers, utilizing quizzes, Top Ten lists, language analysis, real-life (and real-death) testimonials, and fancy charts to show you what you need to do in order to get your vampire and keep him forever.
2. Never Bite a Boy on the First Date - Cute young adult novel in which a teenage girl becomes a vampire, one of her classmates are killed and she is falling for another vampire who might be the killer.
3. The New Vampire's Handbook: A Guide for the Recently Turned Creature of the Night - A comical take on what you need to know if you've been turned into a vampire.
4. How to Catch and Keep a Vampire: a Step-by-Step Guide to Loving the Bad and the Beautiful - How to woo, win and forge a relationship with a vampire. Why are we so attracted to them? Can we tame them? A humorous book for readers fascinated with vampires.
5. Bite Me! - A young adult novel about a seventeen year old female vampire.
The above are summaries, not reviews, as I have not read them, although I'm thinking of getting one or two of them. I have been a vampire lover ever since I read my first Anne Rice book, Interview with a Vampire. I was fascinated with the vampire lore in her books and couldn't get enough. Luckily, there is a never-ending supply lately of vampire pop culture for me to consume.
