Vampires – Blood and Sex on Audio Books
Does it seem like vampires are hot now.
It seems like it but not really. They have been a part of our history for a long time. Some of the very first movies were about vampires and werewolves.
Forever there have been books written about them, movies portraying them and plays about them. Over in Europe there are tales about them carried from one generation to the next. Many of these stories were about events that could not be explained.
But heck who am I to second guess historical events. After all, I am just a writer. But I am also a lover of audio books. And there are almost as many audio books as there are hard cover books about everything.
In this particular case there are hundreds of audio books about vampires and their chasers. There are vampire books about their natural preditors, the werewolf. Without the vampires and their preditors what fun would they be.
As a result, I have provided a fantastic list of vampire audio books and their authors. Most of the authors have multiple vampire chasers books, so if you like a particular author, get more of their books.
My list of ten great vampire audio books and their authors…
