Classic Vampire Works

TowerWeb.Net | TowerWebProductions.com | MidnightTimes.com

This is a list of what, in my opinion, are the most significant literary works on the subject of vampires. Many of these works are in the public domain, and I have provided a link to full text e-books for most of the titles listed below. This is definitely not an all inclusive list of vampire fiction/poetry. For a more comprehensive list of titles that includes contemporary works, I highly recommend the Vampire Library. If there is a classic work of fiction or poetry that you feel should be listed on this page, please feel free to contact me at the e-mail address provided on the Vampire Compendium entry page. The works listed below are fiction unless otherwise indicated.
