for research purposes (genuinely), i'm looking to make a list of what people consider Required Viewing™ (or reading) in terms of vampire fiction. while specifically this research is for paranormal romance, other iconic vampire fiction that add to the canon would be much appreciated. i would especially be interested in any stories about non western vampiric creatures since they are absolutely out there!

some (but not all!) of my current list includes

dracula by bram stoker

carmilla by sheridan le fanu

interview with the vampire by anne rice

twilight by stephenie meyer (yeah i know)

the awakening by l. j. smith

#gampire writing tag #not pjo #chitter chatter #for those who CARE: i'm writing a gay paranormal romance where one of the leads is a vampire. very twilight.#it's kind of satire kind of not kind of gothic eventually kinda not it's hard to explain but i'm trying to do Things #and after i finish my first complete draft (not draft zero since i wrote this in a weird way but my first COMPLETE draft)#and i know what i wanna do #i wanna read and watch a bunch of vampire stuff and allow that to guide some of my edits #it makes sense to me at least #i acknowledge that literature tv and movies are not folklore but that’s ok 👍#if you do have any good folklore sources i would not be opposed but more im looking at vampire fiction
