Rick Taubold is a good friend of mine, so I would be remiss if I did not give a shout out to his and Chris R. Hosey’s Mortal Vampire series, which begins with Vampires Inc. The second book in this trilogy Vampires Anonymous was just released this past August. You won’t get emo, or gothic, or shimmery vamps here. It’s a more realistic take, if you will. Check it out.
