[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 9333029, member: 3649"] Two Tales of Vampires Adrift by K.R. Griffiths Whiteout by Gabriel Dylan Both were pretty darn good. Both deal with isolation - in Whiteout. 30 teens are stranded in a ski chalet by an unexpected storm. In Adrift, an EMP cripples a cruise ship. Then, the vampires show up. In both books, the vampires are true monsters; slavering hairless monstrosities with mouths of ragged, jagged fangs, etc. No twinky Twilight dudes or genteel Dracula, here. In both, the beasts have shared our world for millennia. They emerge, feed, then hibernate for decades or centuries in between orgies of blood. There are differences, to be sure; the vampires in Whiteout are almost mindless save for their 'queen', and even the slightest nick can start your transformation into one of them. In Adrift, the vampires are more like a human 'cousin', a race of beings fiercely intelligent, immune to fire, and even looking at one can drive humans into suicidal madness. Both were pretty darn good reads. Both would also make for a pretty cool movie. [ATTACH type="full"]360870[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="315px"]360871[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
