Novels that Bite for the Teen Crowd
Last week the teen librarian asked me if I could think of any teen vampire novels and, as often happens, the blank, empty skull syndrome hit. In anticipation of the publication of Stephanie Meyer's Breaking Dawn novel in her Twilight Saga, here are a few vampire series to help slake the thirst of teen vampire fans who want even more vampi-ness. On a personal note, I used to read vampire novels and such in my callow youth, but I think seeing the movie Nosferatu cured me. His picture is featured here :)

Peeps and The Last Days by Scott Westerfield look at vampirism in a really unique light, and are both very good.

Thanks for the list!
ReplyDeleteTHE SOCIETY OF S is not a stand-alone--the sequel is out. It's called THE YEAR OF DISAPPEARANCES, and I think it's even better than the first one.
Thanks for catching that, Zengardner, I'll change the Society of S on the list to a series.
