...'Salem's Lot by Stephen King. After all those tame, swoony vampires it's back to the old school with this one! Proper creepy, predatory, vicious vampires - I'm loving it!
Any other good scary vampire books anyone can recommend?
A new one came out, adult. I can't remember the name now. A friend read it and said it was very literary and rather scientific. I do like Darren Shan's work. His Procession of the Dead is really some great and unusual storytelling.
THE PASSAGE by Justin Cronin was the one I was thinking of. It came out last June. Its take on being a vampire is a "virus". It never comes out and says they are vampires but they drink blood, can't go in the sunlight and are afraid of water... just when they think they are dead..they aren't. Its out in paperback now. It might be a start of a series of books, I'm not sure.
