Dracul is an amazing book. I loved it. But it has been a group read in the past.
Feel free to nominate another book.
Aw man, this would've been a perfect time for the National Lampoon guys to have written a 'Salem's Lot parody back in the day! "'Salem's Loo", anyone?Anywho, lemme throw in a trifecta and one for next month's selection; hoping I got this nomination thing in the bag...

Let's read books about vampires.
What better time to read about the creatures of the night than when the days are at their longest and there's less time to worry about the nasty bloodsuckers.
Please, DO NOT nominate Stephen King's Salem's Lot. Anyone who does will be sent for an overnight stay at the Marsten House as a personal guest of Mr. Barlow... I mean it.
Alrighty then.
Let's all sink our teeth into some juicy vampire stories for the month of July.
And don't forget to hang up some garlic and carry a crucifix.
Authors please do not nominate your own books. It's tacky as hell to do that. Thank you.
Please do not nominate books we've read in the past 3-4 years.
