Question:

What are some interesting Vampire/Fairy-Tale novels/or a series I could pick up?

by | earlier

I have read Stephanie Meyer, and the Brothers Grim fairy tales.

I would want vampire novels of that nature...or dark-ish sort of novels to the comparison of Brothers Grim...sort of creepy, in a woodland sort of landscape.

Any help given is much appreciated, thank you.

Check out Laurell K Hamilton.

She has the vampire hunter series focusing on vamp hunter, Anita Blake.

Then she has the Merry Gentry series, focusing on the older, scarier version of a fairy tale princess.  (More Celtic lore-ish I mean)

If you look on her website, you can read the first chapter of just about every book.  Mind you, the books take a dark turn, and can be very sexual.

Laurell K. Hamilton writes some interesting and very s**y stuff about vampires and were-animals but it's more modern day, in fact, most of the stories take place in St. Louis Missouri, not in the deep dark woods.

Vampire: Nancy Collins' Sonja Blue series, Anne Rice obviously, Bram Stoker obviously.

Faeries: anything by Charles de Lint. Trust me on this and you won't be disappointed, he is a great writer.

Edit: re: Laurell K. Hamilton. I really think she's the real reason the Fantasy/SF section of the book store is full of vampire series, not Anne Rice. I haven't read her, but at least she sets the trends instead of following them.

I'd recommend the Nebula award winning author Tanith Lee. She specializes in dark fantasy and I seem to remember her editing a couple of book collections that were horror based on fairy tales.
