🧛‍♂️ Blood on the Pages: A Journey Through Vampire Literature

Welcome to “Blood on the Pages”, a dark (yet cosy) corner where we explore the world of vampires in literature. From timeless classics to hidden gems and gothic new releases, you’ll find recommendations, reviews, analyses, and curious facts to quench your thirst... for a good read.

🩸 Why vampires?

Vampires have fascinated humanity for centuries. Seductive, immortal, cursed or heroic—their image has evolved from classic monsters to contemporary anti-heroes. This blog is for those drawn to the dark, the supernatural, and the eternal.

🧛 Top 5 Vampire Books You Must Read (if you haven’t already):

1. Dracula – Bram Stoker (1897)
   The one that started it all. No vampire lore is complete without this gothic masterpiece. Dark, atmospheric, and full of tension.

2. Interview with the Vampire – Anne Rice (1976)
   A modern classic that redefined the myth. Melancholic, philosophical, and utterly seductive.

3. Let the Right One In – John Ajvide Lindqvist (2004)
   Swedish horror at its finest—deeply disturbing and surprisingly emotional.

4. Carmilla – Sheridan Le Fanu (1872)
   Pre-dates Dracula with a haunting sapphic twist and intense gothic vibes.

5. The Historian – Elizabeth Kostova (2005)
   A perfect blend of historical fiction, suspense, and vampire legend.
