Another day, another portion of our Best Books of 2009 list. Today’s installment includes entries #10-6 (remember, we’re counting down from the lowest rated book, which snuck in at #15, to the highest rated book at #1) and, as you might expect, another healthy dose of fantasy, science fiction and, of course, more vampires. Before you throw up your hands in frustration, consider for a moment the varied ways that vampires are represented in the texts on our Best Books of 2009 list. Part 1 of the list saw texts that construct the vampire as a brooding, sparkly 100-year-old high school student. Today’s list, however, includes texts that hearken back to the Bram Stoker version of vampires. Although reading about some of them might amuse you, these are not the type of bloodsucking fiends you would want to come across in a dark alley.
Regardless, today’s selection of Best Books of 2009 has something to offer nearly every reader, from poetry to post-Soviet Russia, unicorns to parasitic aliens. We hope you enjoy day two of Fandomania’s Best Books of 2009, and we look forward to hearing your feedback on Paige and Kelly’s selections!
