Duran Duran Unseen by Kasper de Graaf Malcom Garrett,Paul Edmond

A Secret Rage by Charlaine Harris

Point of Origin story

Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu

While I still think Bram Stoker’s Dracula is the ultimate Vampire book, I have to admit one of the stories he drew inspiration from is pretty good too.
Sheridan Le Fanu’s novella Carmilla is an awesome story and, if I didn’t already know it was about a vampire, would have …

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood

The Rainmaker by John Grisham
