Recs if you like The Pale Lady...

Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.

puts beret on a jaunty angle ‘why yes i went to Oxbridge and go skiing on my holibobs with papa, why do you ask?’ takes a hit of tobacco flavoured vape, puts asterisk in margin of the obscure classic i’m ‘reading’

the list for people who want to look ‘well read’ and need some books to name drop - look no further

if you have read them, more power to you, but this is explicitly about the people who claim to have read them but can’t read instructions on pasta

Criteria: 110 or fewer ratings on Pagebound and generally 3.7 or above rating on other platforms but 3.5 and 3.6 allowed if material seems intriguing. This is a list for books that are lesser known on Pagebound, but they might be more well known off-site.

The goal: to have the most comprehensive complete list of vampire books, fiction and otherwise, in the world. Then? I’ll read them all.

Please send recs <3

Vampires, because who doesn’t love a good vampire book?

nosferatu inspired reading list, books about obsessive and monstrously toxic dynamics, along with vampires and the gothic obviously.

Books about blood-suckers. The more gothic or literary, the better. All because IWTV has taken over my brain and I need more books like this in my life.
