The Southern Vampire Mysteries
The Southern Vampire Mysteries, is a series of books written by bestselling author Charlaine Harris. In the series Harris develops a detailed mythology and alternate history that approaches supernatural beings as real. It's history has otherwise unfolded so closely to that of the real world that the series contains occasional references to pop culture.
The series represent vampires as a new race of people. Since they are a new discovery to the human race, they are outcasted by rest of society. The vampire race have been given powers such as speed, strength, keen sense of senses, as well as other supernatural powers (some with flight) to protect themselves from the human race. The series really shows how fast the entire world can become racist towards an entire new species giving little hope for human society.
The mythology of vampires being sex objects still stands in the series and is even more supported by followers of vampires called Fangbangers, who volunteer to have their blood be sucked by the vampires.
