Absolutely but it was all her work under her pen names...Non vampire novels that many of us will remember. Young me couldn't get enough of them.

I am familiar with her wider oeuvre...I don't think I could stomach rereading Belinda as an adult but I am sure the other books had a great impact on their readers.

Yet None top her beloved vampires

I beg to differ: The Witching Hour Lasher Talamasca!!!!!!! Vampires do find their way into the Mayfair family so you still win. Lestat much. (Mona!) Ah - and Blackwood Plantation! Sugar Devil Island. Good times.

Bram Stoker would like a word or two. Paranormal "romance" is the most ghastly genre ever.

I am aware of Bram Stoker. However, he hasn't just died. Anne took the traditional idea of vampire-as-villain as done by Stoker, and created the vampire-as-tragic-antihero.

I didn't say she she invented all vampire fiction. She took the classic Stoker vamp-as-monster and gave us vamp-as-tragic-protagonist. Don't worry about Stoker, his place in the canon is very much cemented and I'm sure he wouldn't mind me focussing on Anne in her memorial tweet.

I got Armand out a month ago w every intention to curl up w some blood but nowadays I just read my phone and I was such a book worm.
