Abnormally Normal
Taristeriousvampire and werewolf hybrid
But the best part in both the books and the TV show is the unresolved tension between the three protagonists.
56-58. The Smoke Trilogy
BY TANYA HUFF
Same author, but not as successful. A series of three books, Smoke and Shadows, Smoke and Mirrors, Smoke and Ashes. The series takes place in Vancouver with Henry Fitzroy and his sometime-lover. More occult crime. Didn't do much for me.
59. Interview With The Vampire
BY ANNE RICE
Clearly one of the first reluctant vamps. I personally do not like the gothic trappings of the Anne Rice world, but this is clearly a book that influenced the genre. There are many other Rice novels, The Vampire Lestat, etc.
