I met Rob when my table was directly across from his at Word On The Street this year. I asked him which was his favorite of his books and he picked this one. Of course, I bought it. Now I'm reading it and I love it! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72772782 to: Blood Bound (Mercedes Thompson, #2) by Patricia Briggs

Cary wrote: " I wish somebody would write a story in the tradition of Dracula, Carmilla, or The Vampyre. A single book with allot of thought put into it. At this time no one is writing stand alone vampire stori..."

It's interesting that you point out about vampires going out in the sun. When I was on the Vampires in Fact and Fiction panel with Dr. Elizabeth Miller, Canada's foremost scholar on Dracula and vampires, she stated that in Bram Stoker's book Dracula went out in the daylight (reduced powers) 9 times.

I don't know when the idea of needing an invite to cross the door came into effect. As for burning with the sun...that came about with Nosferatu, but may have it's roots earlier.

As for a stand alone vampire novel, there are some around, one just has to search for them. If you want a vampire story that isn't purely paranormal romance, mine is mainly a murder mystery with the vampires in trouble. You should also check out Nancy Kilpatrick's books...they are great and most likely what you are searching for as well.

Cheers
