Is there any folk lore in the books. Like how you become a werewolf. What is effective against werewolves, and such. Most modern books, and shows just have a guy get bitten,and he becomes a were wolf. So anyone who gets bitten and lives becomes a werewolf. The new movie Red Ridding Hood at least has some folk lore. Like you can only get the curse on the night of the blood moon. So there is some history and folk lore in this series. I wish people would write single story books again and not series.
I like werewolf storeis, especially when they focus on what the animals are like, not so much the folklore
Well PostCardashian u should read the series, I believe u will enjoy them!
Well that is a cool element. In Dracula he is both were wolf,king of wolfs, and a Vampyre. Not only do we know Dracula the person as he tells the imprisoned Johnathan Harker the story of his long life, but later in the story Dr. Van Helsing explains how Dracula became such powerful shape shifter and Vampire. He had attended the Scholomance. A school run by the Devil himself on the shores of a lake in Styria. It's that kind of back ground of the Vampire and the folklore that make such a powerful combination. People have been reading Dracula for 120 years. They are still reading it today. Do you think they will be reading Sookie Stackhouse or Twilight that long. Oh God I hate to put Sookie in the same sentance as Twilight Saga.
Cary, I am not sure if you can call it folklore but there is alot of explaination for how they become wolves not werewolves! I think it is more like shapeshifters! But there is romance involve so I am not sure if u are into that kind of stories!
Well, Sookie has more content and the character is more evolve then Bella! So, Twilight is a fad and it will fade just like everything silly!
Probably not the same kind of romance as you are looking for. I like Carmilla the best of all. A girl on girl relationship between a vampire, and her prey. Dracula is a great love story. Dracula's wife threw hereself from the castle battlements into the river far below because she though Dracula had been killed. But he had not. Through his incredible strength and savagery he had beaten the Turkish horde. When he came back, and found God had let his wife die. A suicide to walk in purgatory never to enter heaven, and face excomuntication by the church. While he defended the name of Christ. He renounced God and was excomuticated and turned Vampire upon death. Years later he rediscovers the lost soul of his former wife in the person of Mina Harker. Mina's soul is still wandering in purgatory, and she has never been able to go into heavan so she has been reincarnated. Draucla recognizes Mina as his long lost wife. It is a deep love story. It's not like the porn most people like. Don't get me wrong. I love Sookie Stackhouse. Then Quinn rubbed up agains my nubbin and I just came on the counter. He never even penetrated me. Yeah I can read that stuff too. But it not near as good as Carmilla's smooching all over Laura and telling her how she loves her but she will lovingly have to die for her, and then hating and loving her die for her anyway. Yow!
Wow, that is a very old story but yes a classic! I guess I can see the appeal to the story line.
Guess I got carried away a bit. I am 58, and have been reading vampire stories since I read Carmilla in Cahtolic Prep school in 1968. So I have been reading them all along until the present. I love a good werewolf/vampire story.
Wow, that is so kool! I am just disappointed that most of the books I read about Vampire and Werewolves don't have a good story line! I want more content!
Thanks for the recommendation Marlene! I'm excited to read that werewolf series by Quinn Loftis. It sounds awesome! Hopefully it has a great plot because I plan to pick up the series very soon.
