^ To be honest, you can't really rip off any other author when it comes to vampire stories. Because every single vampire writer is getting their material from ancient vampire folklore or very early stuff like Dracula.
But yeah, Twilight is just an appalling excuse for vampire fiction.
I haven't read the Southern Vampire Mysteries but I've heard that Trueblood isn't that great. I'm into lots of oldschool vampire stuff but maybe I'll check it out nevertheless.
