Books Similar To Dracula Novels & Stories

Maybe it all came from the lingering frustration about every little thing since my little family reunion at school. I tried not to think about it. Or anything else in particular but as you know it’s quite hard to keep your mind blank, so yeah, not much luck. I switched on the lamp beside my bed taking out my Creatures of the Moon book, I was reading something about Wendigos the last time if I could recall well. Vicious creatures, I tell you. These were the true creatures of the night. More deadly than vampires in my opinion. I sighed through the pages buying out time, as the minutes whisked away.

Placed the lamp and the bell on a small table that was in the middle of the circular room and went to explore the titles that were her old friends. Two hours later, she was sitting in her window seat and read avidly one of the books that moved more than her heart her imagination when she was younger. The book that made her hope for flapping at the window in the middle of the night was Dracula. It might seem weird that a monster can be the hero of a little sick girl, but she was amazed by the idea of eternal life and being able to transform into animals and command them, even fly!... For a girl that couldn't almost leave her house.

All the same, she went through it with yet another sigh. It didn’t tell her much. It was just the usual definition of vampires, their history, some validities of their reality, and sources. Merely scrolling down, she picked up the most common keywords classic monsters and Count Dracula, which happened to be a legend from Bram Stoker’s epic novel, Dracula. She had already read it and things were becoming rather repetitive. No matter how hard she tried to fit Zheira’s description to how the article described vampires, there weren’t any. Fuming silently, she went back to the search bar and typed creatures with horns and golden eyes, and the results were as implausible as the first.

I had to keep studying—this was the only way I could avoid his gaze and his presence. After a few more pages, my eyes drifted to the large bookshelf along the living room wall. It was filled with thick volumes, most in Latin or old English. Slowly, I stood and approached it. My fingers brushed over a spine, trying to read the titles. Anatomi Licanthropica, Genealogy of Packs, Mutatio Lupus. I pulled one out, nearly choking when I saw its contents—pages full of strange illustrations: skeletal figures half-transformed into wolves, notes on dual circulatory systems, and countless terms unfamiliar to me.

Mike walked towards Brandon's room and entered with the doctor who was treating him. Vincent finds an interesting book about the origins of Dracula. Dracula is an ancient legend of the extinct Sumerians. In the beginning, Dracula, or vampire, was a powerful king. He made a pact with the devil so he could take revenge for the deaths of his wife and the people killed by his enemy.

He fluttered his eyes and gazed at the book instead. “Why do you say it’s Dracula? ‘Zalmoxis’ is a Dacian god from what I know.” “You know this book?” she asked, surprised. “Yes. I read extraordinary books as my pastime, too. I am interested in other topics besides those given at school. So, why do you think it’s Dracula we’ll meet?” “It is because I constantly hear his name in my head.” Elise just stared at the book she was holding and spoke again.

So you're a big Lovecraft fan? - Definitely. A thousand times more Cthulhu than any shining vampire. - She smiled. — I like some fantasy books. Writers like Laurell K. Hamilton and Patricia Briggs, who take ancient legends like vampires and werewolves and bring them to the contemporary world. There's this amazing author called SC Green who wrote these dark steampunk books set in dinosaur-infested Georgian London. My friend Derek referred me. He is always giving me new books to read. He's studying mythology, so he likes that sort of thing. — What is your favorite creature?

It was like the documentation of a person's findings on my species. I shook my head and closed the book, wondering why there would be a book like that in a werewolf's cabin, one who hated vampires at that. But then my eyes caught the spine of another book, and another, and another, and then I realized that every book on that shelf was about vampires. I looked back and saw that Marcello was still distracted with Veronica, so I picked up another book. This time, it had me sucking in a sharp breath when I opened it and my eyes widening at the diagrams that I saw.

After passing a few more dead bodies, I finally spotted the creature. A drider. I've only seen something like this twice in my life. They had similar qualities as us, vampires. They drank blood and were sensitive to lights. The only difference is that they could do more magic and was absolutely hideous. But the ones I've seen were not as terrifying as this one. This monster was massive and way more muscular. Evolution is a funny thing, isn't it? I saw Analyn cradling Ambrose's head on her lap. The monster must've taken him down. It made me smile. Not so tough now, are we?

I could give her my blood but the doc and I don't know what that will do to her, so I just have to wait and let the drip do its work. I've have done a lot of reading these past few days, there is a few references towards mates in the very old books but nothing concrete. I wish I could talk to my parents about it as they were mates. From what I've found there is more about mates in the werewolf history then in the vampire history, a wolf can smell their mate and tell from little electric sparks that results from them touching. A vampire on the other hand takes a little longer, the mate must thaw their frozen heart before the mate bond will take affect. See a lot of vampires don't have the pat
