Many of you, like myself, may frequent superstores for one stop shopping. I, personally, often shop at Wal-Mart. So I was perusing the store, I glided through the book section. Though it is a small selection, the shelves highlight the best sellers.

I was amazed at the many vampire books that are not only available but are also on the best seller list. Has our society really gone that vampire crazy?

I’ll be the first to admit that I enjoy well written vampire fiction. I read The Last Vampire by Christopher Pike many years ago and was thrilled. I’ve also read all of Anne Rice’s vampire series, which are in a leage of their own. Plus, I read the Twilight Series too.

I’ve already written a semi-review of the Twilight series, in which I claim that even though the books are interesting, they cannot be considered academic or well-written novels by any means of the word.

With that being said, I cannot imagine any of these other thousands of vampire books can be a whole lot different. Have we not yet reached the point where the vampire theme is overused? Am I only the one that is tiring of authors jumping on the vampire bandwagon?
