Interested in researching all things vampire? Andersen Library can help!
Search the catalog to find titles such as Encyclopedia of the vampire: The living dead in myth, legend, and popular culture (2nd-Floor Reference Collection, PN56.V3 E63 2011), The universal vampire: Origins and evolution of a legend (3rd-Floor Main Collection, GR830.V3 U55 2013), or Vampires: Myths and metaphors of enduring evil (ebook).
On the lighter side, browse for DVDs of several seasons of TV series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer (2nd-floor Browsing DVD Feature Films, Buf), Angel (2nd-floor Browsing DVD Feature Films, Ang), and True Blood (2nd-floor Browsing DVD Feature Films, Tru). There are also books about Buffy, such as Reading the vampire slayer: The new, updated, unofficial guide to Buffy and Angel (ebook) and The physics of the Buffyverse (3rd-Floor Main Collection, QC75 .O84 2006). There are so many authors of vampire fiction, it’s just not possible to list them all, but you can find titles by Christine Feehan, Charlaine Harris, Laurell K. Hamilton, Stephanie Meyer, Anne Rice, Jeaniene Frost, Bram Stoker (Dracula is available as a print book, audio book, or ebook!), and many other authors. If you know these already and you need an infusion of, ahem, new blood, try reader lists posted at sites like Goodreads, e.g., Best Vampire Books from “New Authors” and Best Adult Vampire Books.
