Vampire Fiction Database

Welcome to the Vampire Fiction Database. The purpose of this project is to solicit recommendations of vampire stories from readers and writers of vampire fiction, to assist me in selecting the contents of a reprint anthology I'm assembling for Night Shade Books, which is tentatively scheduled for publication in late 2009. Suggestions of short fiction are obviously my primary interest, but feel free to suggest novels as well, as I may include a "For Further Reading" appendix in the anthology.

Enter as much information about the work as you know. If all you know is the author and title, that's fine. When denoting the length of the story, if you don't know if it's a novella, novelette, or short story, just mark short fiction (this being the generic catch-all for those three categories).

I've inserted a few entries in the database myself to serve as examples. If you have any questions about using the database, please don't hesitate to email me.

Writers: You're welcome to recommend your own work. You may also contact me via email to send me a copy. You don't need to query me first; feel free to just send the stories along in RTF format. Please include "Vampire Fiction" in the subject line, along with your name and/or the name of your story. (Note that these stories should have been previously published, since this is a reprint anthology.)
