Vampires?

OK – I have to admit to a yearlong obsession with vampires.  I generally don’t read horror – too scary & I have to leave the light on all night, which bothers my husband.  I tried to read Joe Hill’s Heart Shaped Box – but couldn’t.  The characters were great – but I just got too scared.

Back to vampires – last year, I discovered this great book by Stephanie Meyer.   Twilight, tells the story of Bella (a junior in high school) and Edward (a vampire who doesn’t hunt people).  Edward and his family feed off animals rather than people. Bella seems to attract danger and Edward tries to save her.  This unlikely love story is continued in the second book, New Moon  when Bella and Edward encounter evil vampires and werewolves.  On August 11th, Eclipse (the third book in this suspenseful series) will be released. 

While I’m waiting for Eclipse, I’ve been reading other not-too-scary vampire books.  You Suck by Christopher Moore was ok.  It seemed a little too west coast for me.  I’m not really happy with the ending.
