Vampire Books – For Teens and Young Adults


Since Twilight came out more and more people are looking for Vampire Books. Vampire books have been a favorite theme with many writers. With Dracula, and all its renditions to the very popular kids series The Bailey School Kids by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones, these types of books have become a staple in paving the way for a more mainstream Below I have compiled a short list of Vampire books that can be appealing to teenagers, or young adults. Mostly I have added series, I find that series are really great, I feel that I can get to know the characters much better should I have more to read about them.

Romance Vampire Books


There’s no doubt that Vampire Romance is one of the most popular genre’s on the market today. With the release of the Twilight Movie, and its Forbidden Romance theme, there will most certaintly be a hike in Vampire Romance in the coming years.

In the past Vampire Romance has been a hot topic, blowing up when Buffy The Vampire Slayer came to the TV and Movie screens, and just getting hotter and hotter throughout the years. Between the fiery romance, and most often the forbidden encounter between a human and a vampire, whats not to love. You have all you need in Vampire Romance, and here you can check out tons of new and old titles that you are sure to want to sink your teeth into (hehe – had to throw that one in there).

This is a small listing of Vampire Romance on the market. I have only added series to this list, which is what I mostly read. Of course this list is no where near complete, and these are just the books or series that I have either read, or partially read. They are all pretty good, and worth the read. And if you are short on time, try some audio book, they are great for a long commute (like me)!

Should you need any more ideas or have any reviews on the above books please comment and let me know, I would love to get some of your ideas on these books.

In addition if you have read a book that you don’t see on this list, and think its worth adding, just let me know! :)

A List of Vampire Books – Various Genres

There are tons of Vampire novels out there for those interested in more books on or about Vampires. People have been writing about Vampires from the early 1700′s. Most of these earlier novels were inspired by Mary Shelley (Frankenstein) and Lord Byron. In fact Polidori’s book Vampyre, which is a romantic vampire novel, was inspired by Lord Byron. Lord Byron wrote a fragmantary story on vampire, and also went on to write the epic poem The Giaour.

For many years the Vampire crazy quieted down, but with Vampire books, movies, and television shows on the rise lately, its no wonder that many authors are finding new adventures for our beloved Vampires.

Below you will find a list of Vampire Novels from a variety of genres. Some of these can go into multipe categories, but I have broken it up as much as possible.
