She by H. Rider Haggard
I have just started reading this book myself, so I don’t yet know how it’s going to turn out, but I already like the tone and the writing. Haggard is the inventor of Allan Quatermain of King Solomon’s Mines and the author of eighty pulp adventure novels. Since I started reading this as I am writing my newest book, I made two of the characters H. Rider Haggard fans.

There’s also a movie of it.

I mentioned previously that I thought Carmilla was the best vampire book of all time. In 2010, it’s going to be a new movie. You can download the free ebook here.

“Carmilla” is a Gothic novella by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. First published in 1872, it tells the story of a young woman’s susceptibility to the attentions of a female vampire named Carmilla. “Carmilla” predates Bram Stoker’s Dracula by 25 years and has been adapted many times for cinema.

Carmilla by J. Sheridan LeFanu

Actually a novella, this vampires story predates Dracula. By far my favorite vampire story, it really plays up the predator-prey aspect of the myth, and of course there is plenty of lesbian subtext. Download it in several eBook formats for free HERE. This is a link to Feedbooks.com, but it can be found in a variety of sites devoted to free books.
