"Rain"

Tabitha Marlin did not go outside. It was out of the question, and she would not have any talk of it. Ever since the rain started to fall, Tabitha refused to take one step into the outdoor world. Maybe there was something wrong with her, as she and others had often suspected, or maybe she had a rare phobia; she had heard of that, the folks that wouldn’t go outside. The only problem was that she had been fine, had enjoyed the outside world…until the rain had started to fall in Joplin City.

Fang Fiction

What is it about pale skin, bloody lips and sharp fangs that has us so fascinated with vampires? How do they manage to be creepy and terrifying, yet seductive and sensuous with their satin-lined coffins and velvet capes? Are vampires inherently evil? Or are they just misunderstood creatures? If you're feeling brave, then delve into their world with the following novels... but don't blame us if you have to sleep with the light on! Take a bite!
