I was wondering if you could help me find a book in the 80’s I read.
Don’t remeber name or author is the problem!
About a girl at a lake being chased by vampires in the end wakes up had fallen asleep by the lake and was only a dream.
Sound familiar at all?

That one’s got me stumped. Since I’m the Vampire Librarian I’ll do some research for you. I’ll post what I find in the comments.
I was wondering if you could send me some of the best vampire books that I could find at a local library or book store?
Miranda:
See if your library has any of these authors. They write urban fantasy books in which the vampire is either the main character or one of the central supporting characters:
Kerrelyn Sparks
Jeaniene Frost
Charlaine Harris
Kim Armstrong
P.C. Cast (young adult)
Sherrilyn Kenyon
J.R. Ward
Hope this helps!

The Carpathians Books; also about vampires and hunters, there are many books for the Carpathians stories but they are all write in the same worl (ambiance) the stories dont really connect to each other.A bit sexual. But fun too.
