Booklist: Vampires, zombies, and faeries, oh my!

Due in large part to the Twilight books and subsequent movie, vampires have been very popular lately. In fact, they are so popular that the library has at least one copy of each book in Meyers' series and they are almost never on the shelf - and there are lengthy waiting lists for both Twilight and Eclipse.

So here is a list of books at the PRHS library that are about vampires, zombies (the new vampires, hopefully), and faeries (which are much more mischievous and evil than you're probably thinking). Enjoy!
