The piece is often compared to Twilight. Here is the same forbidden love of a girl and a vampire. Feelings are based not only on passion and tenderness, but also on cruelty, violence and lust for blood.
Zotov, Republic night
Rating: 4.7
It is difficult to immediately tell which genre Georgy Zotov’s book "Republic of the Night" has. Here are mixed thriller, black humor, satyr and parody. In the world, invented by the author, live alone vampires. Dracula replaces God here, and blood - oil. Monsters worry about the crisis in the country, lack of work, the actions of the authorities. In general, everything is here, as in the modern world of people.
Original instructions and advertisements are inserted between the heads, making the picture of the life of vampires even more realistic. Opinions about the book are controversial. Some were embarrassed by the description of the bloody scenes, while others liked the sarcasm regarding the famous works about vampires. If the book does not catch the reader from the first pages, it is unlikely that he will be able to finish reading it to the end.
The best foreign books about vampires
The second nomination of the rating includes popular vampire books written by foreign authors.
"Count Dracula, the Vampire" Stoker Bram
Rating: 5.0
Opens the category of vampire romance, which became a world classic. Hundreds of scientific articles and studies are devoted to the writer and heroes of the work. The book was filmed more often than any other work of this genre. The central hero - Dracula, she is the “Son of the Dragon”, became a real legend with a capital letter. It was this book that produced the whole genre in which Simmons, King and Holland began to write.
Undoubtedly, the source of vampires deserves the leading place of various ratings of similar subjects. However, there were those to whom the work seemed protracted, boring and naive. In any case, the book is recommended for reading to all fans of the genre.
Stephanie Mayer. Dusk
Rating: 4.9
Regardless of whether the audience liked the Twilight film or not, we recommend reading the book by Stephanie Meyer. This is a legendary edition, the heroes of which are much more alive and interesting than in the movie of the same name. The love story of a schoolgirl and a vampire is more suitable for a girly audience. He will definitely like girls aged 13-20 years. They will definitely be able to experience all the experiences of the main character, plunge into an unusual world filled with hatred and love, injustice and courage.
Read the work easily and quickly. There are no deep philosophical thoughts in it that need to be discussed. Everything is simple and romantic.
Salem's Lot Stephen King
Rating: 4.8
The next line of the rating belongs to the horror classics. Fans of Stephen King consider the novel “The Lot” to be one of the worst on the subject of vampires. There is no fairy tale about how a monster and a mortal girl fell in love with each other. King's bloodsucking monsters are ruthless, aggressive and scary. They are traditionally afraid of fire and crucifixion.
Readers with bated breath are immersed in a realistic world of horror and do not get tired to admire the familiar King techniques. There is in the book and a small town, and the secrets of its inhabitants, and the unexpected deaths of the main characters. The advantages include interesting characters and original plot, strong emotions from reading. Children read "the lot" is not worth it.
Those who hunt in the night - Hamble Barbara
Rating: 4.7
In the book of Barbara Hambley there is everything - a wonderful language of description, thoughtful plot, original dialogues. It is noticeable that the writer seriously approached her work, she respects the readers. There is no water in the text, the plot is very rich and intriguing. According to him, a London vampire hires a retired secret agent to find the killer himself. The life of his family is at stake.
The book has a sequel called "Journey to the land of death." Judging by the reviews, the second part is slightly weaker than the first. The work is advised to all fans of the genre. It certainly does not disappoint lovers of vampire stories.
Richard Mateson, I am a legend
Rating: 4.6
The hero of the last participant in the rating is Robert Neville, who has become the only person who survived the epidemic, whose signs resemble vampirism. He hid in an armored house and tried to find a formula against the virus.This story is familiar to almost all of the same blockbuster with Will Smith.
We recommend reading the book, which formed the basis of the script of the popular film. Only in this way it will be possible to find out how the end of the story was seen by Richard Mateson, what shocked the philosophical sense of the world of the future. This book will never cease to amaze. The cult work of science fiction knowingly won the recognition of millions of readers.
