This is the only book to examine the new hit ITV2 show "The Vampire Diaries". Vampires are hot right now, especially among teens, and "The Vampire Diaries" has become an extremely popular show on ITV2, especially among teens. "The Vampire Diaries" brings together today's best YA writers of the supernatural to talk about the show's first season: the characters, the storyline, the magic, the town. From a history of the Salem's witches from whom Bonnie is descended to family therapy for brothers Stefan and Damon, the anthology is guaranteed to keep "Vampire Diaries" viewers entertained - and make them see Mystic Falls, and the rest of the show, in a whole new way. And the webmasters of Vampire-Diaries.net, a popular fansite for both the books and show, also provide a primer on what viewers should know before picking up the books.
