[QUOTE=davidm] “Joshua York” and “Damon Julian” from George R. R. Martin’s “Fevre Dream”. > **[Fevre Dream](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fevre_Dream)** > > Fevre Dream is a 1982 vampire novel written by American author George R. R. Martin. It is set on the antebellum Mississippi River, beginning in 1857, and has been described by critics and Martin himself as "Bram Stoker meets Mark Twain". About writing the novel, Martin said that "It was strongly influenced by the time I spent in Dubuque, Iowa, where river steamboats were once built". > The novel was first published in the U.S. by Poseidon Press in 1982. It was later published as a mass market pa... I highly recommend it. … [/QUOTE] Seconded. One of my favorite books. Great atmosphere, wonderful characters, thrills and chills.

[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir] Seconded. One of my favorite books. Great atmosphere, wonderful characters, thrills and chills. Check it out - you won’t be disappointed! [/QUOTE] Thirded. _Fevre Dream_ is worth re-reading. Kim Newman’s _[Anno Dracula](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_Dracula)_ series is not as fine, but lots of fun–in a rather grim way. In the first volume, we see a Great Britain where Van Helsing, \*et al., \* failed. The Count has turned & married Queen Victoria–& vampires have come out of hiding. The characters include other literary vampires: a real “Great Vampire Roundup.” And many literary & historical characters appear who may or may not have made the change. Yet. There are two sequels and more to come. ---

To elaborate on **Strahd Von Zarovich** , he’s from the Ravenloft campaign setting, and here are just a few of his “friends” from the same setting: Lyssa Von Zarovich Jander Sunstar (vampire elf) Axrock (vampire dwarf) Duke Nharov Gundar Lady Adeline (another vampire elf) Baron Urik von Kharkov (a panther turned into a human turned into a vampire. Don’t ask). Ladislav Mircea (a diseased vampire) Dr. Dominiani a.k.a Daclaud Heinfroth (Vampire psychologist who feeds on cerebral fluid) Tavelia (vampire priestess of a false religion) Lady Kazandra (head of a vampire secret police force) Baron Metus That’s just off the top of my head… there are dozens. I’m sure White Wolf’s Vampire RPG has dozens more. ---
