From my understanding, the fangs have like a hole in them (kinda like a viper has), and when a vampire sucks blood it gets sucked through those holes, so it goes to some gland of some sorts, somewhere...I always wondered: if a vampire sucks blood, does it go to his stomach, or does it directly enters his blood vessels?
How does it work?
Best vampire novel? Well, I guess that's nice, but what ensurance do I have that it is indeed the best? How many of these vampire novels have you read?This is an atmospheric CYAO, but the consequences for your choices are just random crap. Still, it's worth going through at least one chapter. https://www.choiceofgames.com/vampire/
Also, I strongly recommend you read Fevre Dream. It's the best vampire novel that exists. Then if you're game, you can read the Vampire The Masquerade Clan Novel Saga. It's very much in line with VTMB as you can imagine.

Sadly, I disagree.Any of the Elder Scrolls games after about Daggerfall can have you playing a vampire. Given the buggy crap that was VtM, I'd say they would rate pretty high in comparison.
Well, fair enough.Best vampire novel? Well, I guess that's nice, but what ensurance do I have that it is indeed the best? How many of these vampire novels have you read?
Vampires as bewitching, handsome/beautiful misunderstood emos is a relatively new thing. The original vampires were nasty, ugly, smelly things, and just about every vampire analog in every part of the world has the same ugly, smelly, Evil thread. Just look at the penanggalan, for example, or the Chinese hopping vampire. Even Dracula himself was a nasty piece of work.I've read "Vampires, Burial and Death: Folklore and Reality" by Barber, Interview with the Vampire (it's bad), VtM: Gehenna The Final Night, VtM: Clan Novel Saga, some of VtM: Dark Ages novels, Bloodsucking Fiends by Moore, The Historian by Kostova, and An Unattractive Vampire by Jim McDoniel. Now that I mention it, I remember that the Unattractive Vampire is a pretty funny (dark humor, subversion) book and so I also recommend that.
Ok, you've convinced me. Would you say I should read it myself or can I listen to an audio book? The Fevre Dream novel I mean.Well, fair enough.Best vampire novel? Well, I guess that's nice, but what ensurance do I have that it is indeed the best? How many of these vampire novels have you read?
Let me preface by saying that I only enjoy movies/games/books where the protagonist is a vampire and not the kind where "humans fight blood suckers with iq 0", so we can eliminate all the crap like "Monster Hunter" by Correia that is considered "good vampire novels" by most.
Let's also mention that, just like with games and movies, there aren't that many books on vampires. I'm kind of obsessed with the subject, so I've seen all movies (bad or good, I don't care, it's just 1-2 hours). And I've read some books, but far from all, I concede. There's an entire genre of teen vamp novels for 13 year olds, and I'm not interested in that.

Fevre Dream, though, it's just so good, it's on another level. It doesn't stand near anything from the aforementioned.
It is not Blade, is it?There was this somewhat obscure RPG. Turn-based squad tactics where you create a team of vampires from scratch, then lead them to victory. It used dumbled down VtM setting, was generally focused on combat. Very simple yet cozy graphics, top-down, mostly red and black colors. I believe it was a trilogy.
Now, for the life of me I cannot recall the name. Probably someone here with better memory will show you the right direction. I remember it to be fun, albeit short game.
It could probably be a mobile game, but I played it on PC.

Nah. VtM setting, top-down, turn-based, squad tactics, probably mobile. Very simple graphics. Somewhat like this:
Only less crispy, more old-school.
Edit: just noticed it's a platformer on the pic. Disregard. Think Dungeon Crawl or smth.
No idea. I've listened to an audio book once and it didn't work for me, I was constantly catching myself not listening to it and I couldn't go back a few pages to reread what I missed.Would you say I should read it myself or can I listen to an audio book?
Well, the 3 dune books I listened to worked for me, I'll stick with audio books then.No idea.

I didn't see 'Sunglasses After Dark' (1989) by Nancy A. Collins mentioned. Only vampire novel besides Dracula I thought was still decent when I re-read it again as adult. It's very different than Dracula, there is sort of punk attitude, but very good. I read at least one of the sequels.Best vampire novel?
