Paranormal Reads discussion

So I was wondering....what book did you all read that started your love of the paranormal?

My first was Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire....I read that and I was hooked!!!!!!

well, at first it was the Twilight series.. but that was kid's stuff but then.. it was Christina Dodd's Darkness Chosen series.. an amazing start I should say :)

Very first Paranormal book I read was a romance because PNR is all I read, was and I was hooked :)

The last Vampire, by Christopher Pike. I read this in High school and was hooked!

Mine was the Sookie Stackhouse series I was also in high school :)

Oh hell..well if we're going with the VERY first Paranormal , Non romance novel, then my first one was about two twin sisters that were blond and had just moved into a new house, when weird things start happening, One of the sisters end up dying and the other eventually becomes an actress and while on set weird things start happening as well....It was a series but I just can't remember who wrote it :)

Don't hate me lol but mine was Twilight ..

Since we're delving back...I'd probably say my first experience was also with Anne Rice. I read and pretty close together. I think I went to Twilight next and then discovered the Sookie Stackhouse series.

Mine was flowers in the attic by V C Andrews. Not very paranormal but mental. Some say mental things are @ time related to being controlled/haunted by an outside source...like demons & ghosts...



PS if I am not typing straight or making sense, sorry. Its 5am here and I need more coffee...

Do R.L. Stine books count? I still have all of his books I got growing up. Christpher Pike was a fave of mine too in junior high.

I would say he does, I use to save my allowance and go and buy his books, I loved his fear street Saga....

LOL. Ok, I'm dating myself here but...

Does anyone remember the author Lois Duncan? I read her and Christopher Pike religiously. This was back in say, Jr. High? Now Pike is still around and I am gonna get to his Thirst Series...at some point or another. Heehee...

I am so ashamed to admit this but I have never read Christopher Pike *hanging head in shame* LOL I need to catch up!!

If you read Christopher Pike religously, you may have already read Thrist 1 & 2, they are the first 6 books in his The Last Vampire series, I learned that the hard way when I bought them and started to read them.

Well, I have to rate A Wrinkle in Time as my first because I look at Sci Fi as part of Paranormal and for a kid, that's pretty paranormal! But as far as romances go, what hooked me was A Darker Dream.

I knew the first had The Last Vampire in it, but I never read the other 6 so I guess it will sort of be new to me. :-)

I was literally in love with Interview With the Vampire when I was younger, so I would say that would have been my first real paranormal introduction. I'd been reading Goosebumps (yes, I know, silly) and ghost stories forever, but that was the first real novel that got me into paranormal books.

And I even got to meet Anne Rice and have her sign a copy of Servant of Bones, I was so excited I couldn't even talk to her.

Abigail...you met Anne Rice?!?!...jealous (-; Now that's awesome!!!

mine was twilight (after watching the movie)... it also made me realize how much I missed reading.

Yeah, it was at a book signing -- I was about twelve or thirteen I think, and we waited in line for three or so hours, and by the time I went up to actually have her sign the book and have my picture taken with her no words would come out of my mouth.

I have to say it was the Twilight series for me too. I never was a "big" reader, but when all of my friends at work started talking about it (I was dead set against reading it) I finally caved and said let me borrow your book...then I went and bought the rest of them the next day lol...I've been reading ever since! lol

In my teens it was Anne Rice but then i gave up trying to read with young kids so twilight helped me get back into it all over again.
