Book news! Feels like ages since we last posted any about the book series, and to make up for that we have a whole load of new book covers from various countries for you to peruse.
First up, the cover for Nightfall in Brazil has been revealed, and the publishers, Galera Record, will also be releasing a rather nifty Vampire Diaries boxset containing books 1 – 4. There isn’t a release date for either product yet, but we’ll let you know when we hear something. Update: Nightfall is due in October, and the boxset in November. Thanks, Isabella!

Zap2it’s Korbi Ghosh spoke to Kevin Williamson about the Vampire Diaries. He confirms that Vicki’s fate is for real, and that in tonight’s episode secrets are revealed and we’ll see some backstory about Stefan and Bonnie, as well as getting to know some other characters a little more. For the iPhone users reading this, you can watch the video on YouTube.
By The Book recently interviewed L.J. Smith, and the article touches a range of subjects, from her own writing and inspirations to her thoughts on the Vampire Diaries TV series. You can read the entire interview over at By The Book.
BTB: Are you currently working on any new projects?
Smith: Oh, yes! I’ve just begun the third book in the new Vampire Diaries Trilogy, titled Midnight. The second book in this trilogy, Shadow Souls, will be out in March, 2010. And then I am working on the last book in the Night World series, titled Strange Fate, which doesn’t have a firm publication date yet. In addition I have on the back burner a book called Brionwy’s Lullabies, which is set in a world that is ruled by dragons. And of course I hope to write some more Vampire Diaries books as well!
Thanks to Katerina Graham for confirming that David Barrett (Smallville, Moonlight, The Cleaner) is currently directing episode 10, “The Turning Point”.
Great news for Portugal via the folks over at Crónicas Vampíricas. The Vampire Diaries TV series is set to premier on Saturday, November 7 at 3:30pm on RTP 1. Malaysian fans can also look forward to seeing the show in 2010 on 8TV. Now, if we could just get a more concrete UK airdate (yes, ITV, we’re looking at you), I’d be a happy bunny.
Finally, many thanks to Amanda for sending us scans of a Vampire Diaries feature in Blast Presents Fantasy Films New Moon Edition (which is out today), and to Faran for the scans of an article in the Toronto Star. You can see the articles in the gallery.

We did say we had quite a few bits and bobs to post. First up, we have video of Katerina Graham’s appearance on the Mo’Nique Show last night. In her first ever chat show appearance she talks about how she started out with singing and background dancing, about Bonnie Bennett, and a message for people to work hard and believe in themselves to achieve their potential.
Malese Jow (you may recognise her from Nickelodeon shows) teased her Twitter followers a while back with a clue to her next project. She’s since tweeted to say that she’s been watching the Vampire Diaries and can’t wait to start filming, and has recently arrived in Atlanta. We don’t actually know what role she’s playing, but there was a casting call posted a while back for a character named ‘Anna’, and Malese certainly seems to fit the bill for the role.
IGN posted up a couple of stills from episode 10, “The Turning Point”, featuring Stefan and Damon. We note police activity in the background there. Has Damon been naughty again?

Many thanks to Rose for directing us to this. Book three of the Vampire Diaries is due out in Portugal this month, and you can see the cover for it right here.

Finally, quite a few people have expressed interest in purchasing Vampire Diaries posters. Well, now you can, as the WB store has three for you to choose from. Thanks to Vampire Diaries Guide for the heads up.

The final episode of the Vampire Diaries webisode prequel, A Darker Truth is now up. What fate lies in store for our hero, Jason?

The CW has posted up the third episode of A Darker Truth. Many thanks to EMI for the headsup! This is little earlier than we were expecting, probably to do with the fact that the last episode of this would air after the Vampire Diaries premieres next Thursday if they kept it to weekly. Anyhow, in this episode our intrepid hero, Jason, makes a gruesome discovery in the forest…
Update: English subtitles, Portuguese subtitles (thanks Wilson!) and Spanish subtitles (thanks Keiran!).
On that note, there are links to videos with English, Portuguese and Spanish subtitles for both previous episodes on our A Darker Truth page. The SRT subtitle files are also available there for anyone who’d like to translate them into other languages. Portuguese and Spanish subtitles are covered, but translations for any other languages would be very welcome.

Brazil seems to be really getting into the spirit of things with the Vampire Diaries! Thanks to Diarios do Vampiro giving us the heads up, we now know what the cover of The Struggle is going to look like. It’s currently due to be published in November at some point. Meanwhile, the publication date for The Awakening in Brazil is just around the corner on the 28th August.
Galera Record (the publishers in Brazil) have a few things up their sleeves to promote the series. As well as an official website with wallpaper downloads and the diaries of Stefan and Damon (Google translate is useful for those of us who don’t speak Portuguese), they’re going to be holding a masquerade ball to celebrate the launch of the books. We hope those of you lucky enough to go have a whole lot of fun, and be sure to tell us all about it!

Looks like we have a webisode series to tie in to the show. Titled A Darker Truth, it follows a guy named Jason searching for his sister’s killer in Mystic Falls. We get a nice peek at the interior of the Mystic Grill, learn that Zach is indeed 100%-for-sure Zach Salvatore, and…well, you can watch it to learn the rest.
View the video with Spanish subtitles and Portuguese subtitles.

MTV’s Hollywood Crush has posted a video interview (usual disclaimer of being viewable in the USA only) [Vee note: Actually, looks like some other countries can indeed view it. Maybe it's just a conspiracy against the UK?] in which he speaks of the Vampire Diaries vs. Twilight debate, suggesting that the Vampire Diaries is ‘edgier’. We certainly can’t dispute that given our vampires have teeth with very sharp edges. ;)
CWgossip has posted another trailer to YouTube. We’ve seen pretty much all of it before, but it’s fun to watch and you have to appreciate the way it’s not taking itself too seriously. Thanks to Wilson over at Vampire Diaries Brasil for pointing us at the Portuguese subtitled version. The song used in the promo is “Hang You from the Heavens” by The Dead Weather.
The Hollywood Reporter has an article up in which TV analyst Steve Sternberg reveals his annual picks for the shows likely to succeed or fail this Fall. The Vampire Diaries has been ranked on his list as one of ‘the best’, with the comment “a tough time period, but this has potential to do well.”
A little reminder that you can vote for the Vampire Diaries in the most anticipated show for this Fall in the Television Without Pity Tubey Awards. You need to click the 9-10 tab for TVD’s category.
And finally, the deadline for our Vampire Diaries Comic Con goodies contest is only a few hours away, so be sure to get in your entry.

Many thanks to MrVideo for pointing us at a new trailer from the CW. Again, there are some scenes we’ve seen before mixed in with some new scenes to whet the appetites of those of us who haven’t been lucky enough to see the pilot yet. ;)
The music featured is “Help I’m Alive” by Metric, as used in the earlier “Written in Blood” promo. You can find screencaps in the gallery.
Update: ‘Love’ trailer with Portuguese subtitles (thanks, Wilson!) and Spanish subtitles (thanks Vampire-Diaries.es!).

A new Stefan and Elena-centric TV spot for the Vampire Diaries has been released. There’s no new footage in this video, but we know that plenty of you are interested in seeing these clips (we do now, anyway!). It’s a 30 second re-cut of what we’ve already seen in previous promos and TV spots, along with the tagline ‘the story of their love will be written in blood’.
For those who will be dying to know, the music featured in the trailer is “Help, I’m Alive” by Metric. You can find links to the lyrics and more on our music page.
Update: Written in Blood promo with Portuguese subtitles and Spanish subtitles.
Many thanks to everyone who emailed us about this, worried we’d missed it. Don’t worry, we hadn’t. We weren’t in a hurry to get it up since there wasn’t any new footage. But thanks for setting us straight on that. ;)
