The Top 10 Best Vampire Book Series

Not too long ago Anne Rice was the queen of vampire fiction with her creation of the legendary Lestat. However, in the past few years Stephenie Meyer with her Twilight Saga, Charlaine Harris with True Blood, and other authors with their vampire creations have stormed the best seller charts. But what are the most popular series with the legions of online vamp lit fans?
The top ten most popular (based on online chatter) vampire book series are:
10. Riley Jensen Guardian by Keri Arthur
9. Anita Blake Vampire Hunter by Laurell K. Hamilton
8. The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice
7. The Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine
6. Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber
5. The Darren Shan Saga by Darren Shan
4. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
3. The House of Night by P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast
2. The Southern Vampire Mysteries / Sookie Stackhouse Novels / True Blood Series by Charlaine Harris
…and the most popular Vampire Lit Series is no surprise…
1. The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer
Not quite making the top ten were Night Huntress by Jeaniene Frost, Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith, Undead and … by MaryJanice Davidson, Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz, Vampire Beach by Alex Duval, Night World by L.J. Smith, Nikki and Michael by Keri Arthur, Mackenzie Vampires by Nina Bangs, and Almost Human by Melanie Nowak. The top two series on this list have also been adapted for the screen, with the wildly popular Twilight Saga movies and True Blood television series on HBO. This can have only helped their dominance in this poll. While great literature does not need to be adapted for the screen, it will clearly raise awareness of a series and bring in a whole new group of fans. A Darren Shan motion picture (Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant) will be released in late 2009. Both House of Night and Vampire Academy films or TV adaptations are almost inevitable, although neither seem to be even close to production. If the new CW Network TV series based on L. J. Smith’s Vampire Diaries is a hit, then those novels are bound to be in the top ten for my next vamp lit poll. And, finally, it is lovely to see that modern vampire literature icon and pioneer Anne Rice made the list, even if she was not in the top five. Oddly, only two of Anne Rice’s novels (Interview with the Vampire and The Queen of the Damned) were ever turned into feature films.
I compiled this list by searching for each of the vampire book series on a number of search engines and ranking them by the number of web pages, discussion forums, photos, videos, etc that are available online. Read more about vampires at SpookyFiles.com.

Construction of the ‘Racial Identity’ by Gaze and Blindness in The Bluest Eye and Native Son
According to Michel Foucault, our identity is constructed by how we are seen. In this regard, ‘gaze’ and panopticon are the mechanics that create, propagate, establish, and gradually naturalize racial identity and prejudices, leading to the blacks’ internalization of hegemonic ideology and inferiority which sustain automatically because of the victims’ blindness to them.The Bluest Eye Morrison challenges the Western standard of beauty and Native Son is concerned with the ‘black’ and ‘red’ phobia

For those looking for a GREAT vampire series with lots of originality – try the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series – By JR Ward. Best series I have read so far. Lots more action that the Sookie Stackhouse novels. I can’t believe it didn’t make the list…

I don’t see how Anne’s books are not at the top of the list. They were the most captivating books I have ever read. I did the Twilight Series and they were great but to be that far behind on the list is just outrageous. She has freaking college classes based around her works, COME ON!
