Countess Karen Karnstein aka Carmilla, Millarca, Mircalla. You can find it free on the internet by typing Carmilla. Or you can read it in In A Glass Darkly by Sheridan Le Fanu. It is also included in The Penguin Book of Vampire Classics,and most other collected vampire tails. Sarah oh Sarah. The Tomb of Sarah is another rockin good story of a female vampire. One of the coolest female vampires is Vesperthilia in Mystery in la Campagna. Although we don't get to know her really. It is one wicked story.

Thanks very much and merry christmas to you too ;)when you write one,let me know,i'm sure it will be great! :D
Well for Gothic single stories. Go to HorrorMaters.com Carmilla is my alltime fave and is a long short story about a girl vampire. Very cleverly written. Twenty years later Braum Stoker used it as a guide when he wrote Dracula which is my second fave. Then there is John Polodoris The Vampire. I also like Mystery en la Campagna about a Roman vampire who is let out of her tomb by an opera writer in the 1800s. Then there is The Tomb of Sarah, and the Mysterious strange. All classic Gothic lit. Now as far as modern stories there is You Suck by Michael Moore. The Sookie Stackhouse series I love. It is the only series vampire stories I like other than Cirque du Freak. Which although very YA it is also very interesting and not the normal same ole, same ole. I ought to write a book myself. I have been waiting for someone else to do it. But it could take forever. So I may do it myself. Merry Christmas :)

Your quite welcome. Good reading and happy holidays to you all. Even vampires can like Christmas. As Spike says in Buffy. " If every vampire I met who said they were there at the Crusifixtion was telling the truth. Then the whole crowd would have been vampires. LOL I really miss Buffy, n Spike, Angel and crew.

thanks Cary!
You are so right Valeria. What a nice ancient name you have. When Dracula is confronted by Van Helsing and Dr. Seward. He says " I am the king of my kind. I have the wisdom of ages. Do you think that you weak humans with your short little lives could ever hope to overcome someone as powerful as myself." Something like that anyway. He makes Eric of Sookie Stackhouse look like a cream puff. In his youth Dracula had studied the dark arts at the Scholomance. A school in Romania taught by the devil himself. Which would mean Dracula has a direct conection to the king of evil. Carmilla is my favortie female vampire. She has powerful majic. She also gets up each day at noon. So she is active from late afternoon till early morning. How perfect a schedule. I would love to go out with Carmilla. We would disappear into the teeming blood rich suburbs of Southern California. Spend our winters in Europe. How wonderful it would be.
Well most of the people in that group are girls or married women. There are only like two or three guys in the group. An old guy older than me,LOL, and a guy & his wife. I am like a 53 year old straight bachelor who listens to punk rock and plays blues. So go figure,LOL.

ps. Don't worry, I didn't take it the wrong way. I know your just teasing me.
Joy Lafayette is a sex machine. He is AC/DC. I don't know if your aware but that's very popular among women at least in California anyway. First of all you have to realize as well. Lafayette is an actor. Trust me behind that colorful speech is a real man. I bet he has a big Afro tool and you would be really um er interested in him,LOL! I am just playin with you so I hope you are not taking this the wrong way.

LMAO! I don't find Lafayette to be sexy, but he is an interesting character. I like the way he talks. Very interesting guy...
Oh well Joy. I like Lafayette better than the both of them. He is twice as sexy as both those white boys rolled together in a ball. That is why Eric did not turn Lafayette into a vampire when Lafayette begged to be turned. Eric knew he would be ssoooooooooo out sexed.

Jean-Luc Echarpe from The Undead Next Door. Book four of the Love at Stake series by Kerrelyn Sparks.
i know that eric northman is already on my list, but after the newest episode of trueblood he just jumped to the top!
The sad fate of vampires. From evil dreaded creatures of the night to hotty type guys that are heros, and would be your boy friend. I just want you to know the real vampires. One off them told me "they just turned us into a bunch of pussys in high school". I said chill out old dude. They'll get tired of it.
thank you joy! im glad someone else understands my obsession w/ having as much of the series available to read! thats one of my biggest pet peeves, starting a series that i thought was completed only to find out its not and then having to wait. "i hate waiting!" (inigo montoya in the princess bride)

I completely get that. I hate reading just one book from the series b/c I crave more! I like reading 2 or more from the series...one right after the other...
The only series I like is Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampyre Mysteries. However the vampires in that series and on trueblood don't even come close to my two favorites. Dracula schooled in the black arts at the Scholamance by the devil himself is as evil as they come. He dared to raise himself from the dead. For this sin demed excomunication. God turned him vampire. He was 500 years old,he was a witch, could read minds, hypnotise,levitate, shape shift(turn into bat if he wanted to fly, or wolf, or rats, any nocturnal animal, dematerialize,control the weather,come out in daylight when nessesary but in the hours of daylight he had no majic. This makes him vulnerable during the day,but not completely helpless like other vampires,he had a gypsy army as servants and warriors, his own castle, three wifes,and the strenth of 20 men. As Lafayette would say. He was one bad ass vampire.
My favorite female vampire is Carmilla. She is 18 or 19 and a young and lovely brunette, yet she has a a grip powerful enough to paralize a man, she reagularly wakes up at noon and goes about her daytime life, she can teleport, when attacked she can dematerialize and teleport over short distances shape shift into a large black cat like animal, black leopard?,or other evil forms. Her body is warm, she feeds from 10:00pm to 2:00am then she returns to her tomb to sleep in a leaden lined casket 18" deep in blood. Then she dematereaizes out of her tomb completely clean and wanders home in a trance to sleep until noon. She seems to have all her powers day or night. She is bisexual, and she can feel love and give love. But she has a cruel streak and can be selfish and uncaring,but she is usually very likeable unless you are in the way of her and her victim. Rather than attack however she will demateriaize and flee from her victim rather than attack. She has the assitance of a royal family coven. Most of her family were killed. However she still has her mother also a vampire and some other vampire kindred, and a few gyspy servants. Easily my choice of best female vampire.
I agree with most of those. I like Stark more than eric in the HON series though. I also like Jasper more than edward... :)
i have only read HON 1-4, so i only have a brief knowledge of stark. im waiting for 6 to come out before i read 5, if that makes any sense...

I really like Rose Hathaway from the Vampire Academy series. This is a pretty cool group and i'm just joining it.well... I've been a vampire lover for a while.
Stop it I cant freaking stand it. What was the spell Hallow put inside the witch that was killed by Chang so when the witch was killed Eric would disappear. In Dead and Gone you find out that Eric started his vampire carrier as a gay vamp. He had been a hetro man but he got plundered by a gay vamp,LOL. A real but pirate as they say. I man I am so wicked some days.
Well I get HBO tommorrow so hopefully I can see the next one. I just love AIDs Burger clip. Can't wait to see Lafayette go trippin off in season two.
you have to click some thing to play it 2 times and it links you to other stuff just close those extra pop up windows but THEN it'll play YA!!!!!www.megavideo.com/?v=IJQNV94D
Eric and Pam are the coolest. But I like lonsome Vamprie Bill allot to. I get HBO friday so I will finaly be able to whatch TrueBlood on TV. I tried Hulu.com but they dont have Trueblood.
I'll have to try the reading to each other thing, lol. He'll probably just look at me funny hehe. I didn't realize really that guitars sold for those prices, violins are really pricey. We own two that my great granddad made by hand and when we got them appraised I wanted to faint. The man was a true genius, no extra schooling after high school and yet he was working right along side PH.D's. He could look at something and make it, or in the cases of instruments make it, learn it quickly, and play it like a pro. Books are my main source of entertainment other then the internet. I hardly watch tv, it all seems pretty mindless anymore save a few good unique shows. I prefer to create as I see something, it's a priceless experience, of course if you enjoy the book...visualizing something you dislike may make it worse but in the end still priceless.lol
If your talking about Sookie Stackhouse series. Yeah I would buy Dead Until Dark, and Living Dead In Dallas. They freaking rock and so does Club Dead. The one with the Witch War and Alcades assention to leader of the Sherevport Werewolf Pack,Dead to the World is outa site. So yah the first four books are great. I only buy books that are classics, biolgrahies, or histories. I tell you though $3,000 for a guitar even an 80 year old one like my 1931 Nationl is cheap. The electric guitars are in the stratosphere. With Gibson & Fender 50s and 60s guitars going as high as $15,000 no problema. Some more than that but that is about the ceiling on guitars. Allthough there are some in tne $20,000 range. Old musical instruments are pricy. Check out a Stratavarious Violin. I would not even go there, LOL.
In this age of televison and movies reading is an aquired taste. But when you figure that all movies and TV come from writings. Then you have to appreciate your own mind. When your read a book your mind conjures up the dream scapes and characters in it's own way. Once you appreciate that the perceptions of your own mind from the reading of a book are cooler than any movie could ever be. Then you will dig it. That is what people mean when they say books are always better than movies. A movie just cant contain everything that is your average book. Plus your own mind is so much more cooler in what it see's in the book than any movie could ever produce. Get a really good book like um Dracula. Read a chapter to your husband. Then have him read a chapter back to you. I bet you can get em hooked. I liked it. Allot!
Yeah I was looking at some last night and almost went into cardiac arrest at some of the prices. There was a lovely 1765 2 volume set of Don Quioxte that I would have loved to get but I'll have to wait till pay day to spend around $65-80 for them. Others I liked were well above my price range, like $400 - 1000. I'll look around some more, there were also some nice non-collectable leatherbond books that I liked as well for far cheaper so I'll just mull it over for a bit.
Wow the guitars sound wonderful and at that price I would hope so. LOL read and get busy, quite the combination. My boyfriend reads it just has to be something well "geeky" to get his attention, but he likes the fact that I read alot I've notice (except for the amount of money and the eventual moving pains). I really need to go get those books, perhaps next time I go to the store I'll get atleast the first two and see if if I like them enough to move on. But the reviews are nearly always good for that series
When I say buy a book a month I mean big coffee table or reference books not paper back copies of Ernest Hemingway or a romance novel. I am talkin large hard backs on Paleontology, Countries, and continents, and peoples of the world. The history of Rome. There is one series called Great Cities of the World. Did you know Mexico City is the largest city on earth. Larger even than any Chinese city. Books that set you back $50 to $100 bucks. Like fer instance. I have a book on guitars called The Arstistry and History of National Resonater Guitars. It is an $80 hard bound book with beautiful color plates of National steel and brass body guitars made from 1928 to 1941, and the Hawaiians and Black Bluesmen,and Cowboy bands that played them. I have three of those guitars. One of them a 1931 model cost me $3,000. Not to brag I'm just sayin. I like guitars and I like really good reference books on them. Audio books would be fun. But it would be like watching TV. Plus I like reading chapters,and pages over. One of my favorite ways of reading is at night before bedtime. I used to do that with girl friend. For example we got Dracula and each night one of us would read a Chapter. Then turn of the light and get busy. If you see what I'm sayin, LOL. I don't know many people that read allot either. I do know one girl who works at the library. She is unfortunately married. Hm well I will figure something out. Right now I am at the part of Dead and Gone were Sookie gives Eric the vampire a sacred knife that symbolizes they are blood bonded. The prelude to making Sookie a vamp? The King Vampire of Nevada in Las Vegas wants to know.
I could always do that, now that I have some money coming in I might be able too. I buy too many books a month as it is, so maybe it'll help cut back on some. I love getting books as gifts, they are so much better then other thing. I can't really Ive them because I don't really know anyone who reads...

LOL I buy WAY more than 12 books a year. I utilize my local library, but there are a lot of authors that I collect. LOL My husband just gets audiobooks, which I am not crazy about. I prefer to read myself, rather than listening to someone else read. I feel more connected to the book that way...
Oh Joy I get HBO on Friday. So I will be watching season two of TrueBlood. Hopfully they will be running reruns. Kitow!
Oh you can always start out small and build. Buy a nice book a month. That would be 12 really nice books a year. Like I have a small vampire and occult library,gun books, guitar reference books, repitle, and palentology books. It's small but it serves my purposes. Books make the greatest gifts. I found out my friends were going to China. So I bought a coffee table book of the regeons of China by topogrpahic areas and cities. It showed the mountainous areas,plains,deserts, and coastal areas. Plus it told a little about the cities in each area,and their yearly festivals. My friends used this book to sneak off from their tour group, and see a Lunar festival in a little village. When the Chinese police and tour guides caught up with them the next day they were pissed. My freinds skiped out of their group and caught a short flight to this one village for the Lunar festival listed in my book. They had a great time and could not thank me enough for giving that book to them. In China you are not allowed to travel without an escort. As my friends wife has dual Russian and American citizenship I guess they decided not to freak on it. My friends just got of with a polite warning. Books are the key to knowledge, and knowlege is the key to life. Cheers
It sounds like it was a lovely room. I've always wanted really nicely leather bound copies of books but it seems I was born into the wrong time period. Very rarely can you find a nice copy like that and then when you do it puts a dent or a hole in your wallet. I've always wanted a true book collection but I would have to find a way to get a major amount of cash.
