Now on Display in Your Library: Vampires are not dead…err…well, I mean, they sort of are…

Whether you jumped on the Twilight train when the series was first released (and loved it or hated it) vampire novels are still alive and well and each one is different from the next. Vampires stories have existed long before Bella and Edward, so we wanted to share a sampling below of what the DHS Library has available for check out. Come on down and pick up a copy of something that gets your blood churning today!

Persistence of Memory by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

Diagnosed with schizophrenia as a child, sixteen-year-old Erin has spent half of her life in therapy and on drugs, but now must face the possibility of weird things in the real world, including shapeshifting friends and her “alter,” a centuries-old vampire.

Pretty Dead by Francesca Lia Block

Beautiful vampire Charlotte finds herself slowly changing back into a human after the mysterious death of her best friend.

Abraham Lincoln: vampire hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith

Abraham Lincoln, having realized that his mother’s death was caused by a vampire, embarks on a plan of revenge that takes him all the way to the White House.

The Radleys by Matt Haig

The Radleys, an eccentric family of vampires living in the suburbs, struggle but try to deny their natural instincts to avoid eating the neighbors and fit in with their peers.

Fledgling by Octavia Butler

Fledgling, is the story of an apparently young, amnesiac girl whose alarmingly un-human needs and abilities lead her to a startling conclusion: she is in fact a genetically modified 53-year-old vampire. Forced to discover what she can about her stolen former life, she must at the same time learn who wanted–and still wants to destroy her and those she cares for, and how she can save herself. Fledgling is a captivating novel that tests the limits of “otherness” and questions what it means to be truly human.
