Here is an interesting bit of trivia. Abe Books’ “Most Expensive Sales of Vampire Books sold in 2009″ are as follows. I am truly surprised that Dracula only fetched $3,000! Seriously, only a grand more than the tolerated Stephanie Meyer? Bram Stoker is definitely rolling over in his grave right now…


1. Dracula by Bram Stoker – $3,000
First edition, early issue, published in 1899 and bound in original red-lettered yellow cloth.


2. Twilight by Stephanie Meyer – $2,000
First edition, first printing, signed by the bestselling author


3. Salem’s Lot by Stephen King – $1,450
Limited edition copy signed by King and illustrator Jerry Uelsmann. This copy was number 171 of 405.
