Honorable Mentions

By Light Unseen users.net1plus.com/vyrdolak/
There is nothing flashy or gimmicky about this site--and I like that. "By Light Unseen" has original, primary source content that you won't find elsewhere--unless they stole it from Inanna's web site. If you have borrowed Inanna's content without permission, you should be dismembered and then dumped in a swamp where you can rot for a hellish eternity... If you manage to crawl out, we'll burn you to a crisp.

Bloodlust UK www.bloodlust-uk.com
"Bloodlust UK" is a good site to mark the beginning of the downward spiral into eternal darkness. In terms of content, there isn't anything wrong with Bloodlust UK. In fact, the site has a lot of good content. The problem I have is with the interface design. Thankfully, there is a skip button for the flash intro; unfortunately, however, there is no skip button for the narrow, boxed off frame (Hello? Non-frames version?) that forces you to view all of the site's content inside a window with a huge empty square surrounding it. Well, it's not entirely empty. There is that vamp face leering at you from the background. I also think the purplish background color with black text is a bad idea. It makes it hard to read what is actually a pretty descent selection of e-books, reviews, etc. (Sorry Illona. But look at the dark side, I ranked your site at number 12.)

Bite Me Magazine www.bitememagazine.com
Web site for what is the best--or at least most commercial--vampire magazine currently being published in print. The web site is weak on content, but if you want a subscription to a vampire magazine you are in the right place.

Alt.Vampires www.altvampyres.com
This web site has plenty of good content. Unfortunately, the design is gaudy and the frames based interface makes navigation difficult.

Vampire World www.vampire-world.com
Good content. Okay site design.

Historical and Modern Killers with a Vampiric Twist roswell.fortunecity.com/seance/500/vamps/home.html
Decent content on the historical figures associated with vampirism. Inconsistent site design. Be careful where you venture or you're likely to be bombarded by an onslaught of pop-up ads.

The Vampire's Vault www.chebucto.ns.ca/~vampire/vvault.html
Decent content, average site design.

Crypt of Vampires www.katyberry.com/Vampires/
Decent content, average site design.

Dracula: The Myth and the Truth www.net4u.ro/dracula/
Decent content, average site design.

Lair of the SheBitch www.vampireforum.co.uk
Obviously popular, but in my opinion overly commercialized. I tend to list individual efforts that aren't as mainstream ahead of sites like this--as can be seen by the six web sites listed immediately above.

Vampires.com www.vampires.com & Dark Sites www.darksites.com
These two domains comprise a bunch of horror, goth, etc. sites that seem to be interrelated.

Dreams of Decadence www.dnapublications.com/dreams/
Web site for printed vampire magazine publication. Has a zine appearence to it.

The Lions Grove www.lionsgrove.com
An interesting girl who has a decent vampire section on her somewhat gothic theme web site.

Dracula's Homepage www.ucs.mun.ca/~emiller/
Web site of Elizabeth Miller, Dracula scholar. The home page design could really use a makeover.

Vampire Junction www.afn.org/~vampires/
At this point, I'm really scrapping the bottom of the coffin.

"My vampire site is way better than any of the sites you listed, and I can't believe it's not here."
