Like Buffy because you like horror? Into vampire, werewolves, and other creatures of the night? Then check out these other books, movies, and comics!
Ever heard of White Wolf, the roleplaying game company that brought you Vampire, the Masquerade and Werewolf: the Apocalypse? Kolchack the Night Stalker? The old classic, the Invisible Man, by H.G. Wells? Moonstone has comics for them all! Read my reviews ...
Kolchak, the Night Stalker
Vampire, the Masquerade: Beckett
Vampire, the Masquerade: Calebros
Vampire, the Masquerade: Nosferatu
Vampire, the Masquerade: Theo Bell
Vampire, the Masquerade: Toreador
Vampire, the Masquerade: Ventrue
Werewolf, The Apocalypse: Black Furies
Werewolf, the Apocalypse: Bone Gnawers
And White Wolf Publishing also has text-based novels based on their various intellectual propererties. I especially like Orpheus: Haunting the Dead, a collection of short stories about a company that investigates hauntings by making their employees temproarily dead and hiring ghosts.
A novel series by Laurell K. Hamilton. The adventures of a female paranormal investigator/necromancer/vampire hunter. The laove/hate thing Anita has going with the vampire Jean-Claude is absolutely delicious. Around book six though, this series suddenly becomes a PWP. I got bored with it, but hey, if you want erotica, I guess that's not a problem. *G*
A novel series by Jim Butcher, about a wizard detective living in Chicago, investigating the paranormal. Rather similar to Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series, but with a guy, and the first and second audio books are read by James Marsters! ^_^ ... You can read my interview with Butcher here. And I've reviewd one of the books for Tart:
A series by Barb and J.C. Hendee. Magiere is a "vampire hunter"--i.e., a con artist who ends up stumbling across the real deal. Her partners are a half-elf with a drinking problem and a fey dog. Think Buffy crossed with Xena meets Vampire Hunter D, with a dash of Anne Rice. Lots of fun! (And blurbs form my reviews of the first two books have appeared in the third! Whee! ^_^)
An anime about a vamire hunter who is half vampire himself. This is the second movie about him, the first having been made during the eighties (and being very campy). This film is MUCH better, stunningly animated, a fine cyber-gothic tale. Read my article on both films here, and amother mention of it by me in Tart's Vampire Roundup
If you haven't read Anne Rice's series, then get to it! I can't say I'm particularly fond of her, but I adore her main vampire, Lestat. The second book in the series is the one I truly recommend, The Vampire Lestat, but the first book, Interview with the Vampire, is really good too, and obviously should be read first. The books after are so-so, but I'm not really endorsing any of them; read or don't read them, as you please. And while I'm not a big fan of Tom Cruise anymore, I adored the movie version of Interview with the Vampire, it was very sensuous!
The movie, NOT the book by Whitley Strieber (which was the loose basis for the film). It's about super-smart wolves who get revenge on humanity for encrouching on their territory.
Again, the movie, NOT the book by Whitley Strieber of the same name (which was also the loose basis for the film). David Bowie as a vampire. Need I say more?
