Now, in 2010, the list is MUCH larger :-)<br />
<br />

<br />
So far I've included all of the series that I know have new books coming out in the second half of the year. As I discover new upcoming books I will be sure to update the list.<br />

Keep checking the website for the new look and have a browse around to get a feel for the new layout and features. I have kept the core content of the site (the book lists) as identical as possible to the old site so that it is just as easy to use.<br /><br />Did you know that The Vampire Library has been online for 12 years now!? I started the site in June of 1998 with a small selection of books and have been building it up over the years. Now we have over 1300 titles listed. With the new setup I plan on updating much more regularly than I have in the past, and we are looking forward to bringing you more interviews, giveaways and content than ever before.<br /><br />Enjoy!Vampire Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15900299087883905999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1896593225681067082.post-79387523610842098912010-05-02T23:08:00.000-04:002010-06-26T19:35:52.555-04:00Welcome<span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" >Welcome to the official blog of The Vampire Library website (<a href="http://www.vampirelibrary.com/">www.vampirelibrary.com</a>)<br /><br />We are currently in the process of revamping the website, giving it a new look as well as some added features that will help you discover new books and authors in the vampire genre.
