@ Matthew – I just read The Historian, and I agree, the Dracula character was very interesting and I’m very sorry that we didn’t see more of him. There was a lot of potential for the dichotomy of extreme intelligence/extreme sadism (Vlad the Impaler) and the credibility of history, but it wasn’t until the very end that we had even a glimpse of that. I actually had lots of problems with the book itself, and would love to have seen Kostova take on the vamp himself rather than all the other story lines she wove into it instead.

Ooh… I do enjoy Kostova’s interpretation of Dracula in The Historian, even if he’s hardly seen in the book. I guess that by building a mystique around the character with barely any contact with the character at all just sets him up as cool.

I will admit to liking Sam from Sluggy Freelance, too (http://www.sluggy.com). But he’s just a sad-sack caricature of all those pretty boy vampires that get all the girls. No matter how hard he tries to be smooth, he just can’t land the hot chicks.

@Mar – I love that version of Dracula. Faithful to the book in many respects, and the look of that movie is just beautiful.

I must be one of the few pretty boy lovers, but i adore Laurell K. Hamilton’s Jean Claude from the Anita Blake series. He’s gorgeous — and bisexual. I also love Zsadist, mostly because i think his book is the best in Ward’s terrific series.

I’m gonna go all oldschool and say Lestat de Lioncourt from Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. The man is a loud, rebellious ‘Brat Prince’, and it’s hard not to fall in love with him in his mock Autobiography.

My fav vampire is Zadist from BDB. I LOVE reading about the cold-hardened broken vampire who no one can reach but then is ‘saved’ by a woman’s love and learns how to live and return love. *dreamy sigh* lol

My favorite vampire is Vlad lll Draculea aka Count Dracula (Gary Oldman) from Bram Stoker’s Dracula. He was a ruthless warrior, that loved infinite and when tragedy struck, it was all he could do to take himself straight into hell for the one he loved. I loved his accent, his eyes and the looks he would give Mina when they were together. Excuse me, I have to go watch that movie for the 157th time.
Count me in, that book cover is hawt!

My favourite vampire is Jean-Claude from the Anita Blake series, especially on the first books when he was mysterious and dangerous.
