Learn all about the vampire brothers Stefan and Damon, Elena, the girl torn between them, and their friends and allies in the small, troubled town of Fell's Church, Virginia. 
With five books and multiple reprints since 1991, The Vampire Diaries has quite the cover art legacy. We've put together a comprehensive collection of covers from around the world, from the old to the new, the interesting to the bizarre. 
Back in 1996, Her Interactive produced a PC game based on the Vampire Diaries. While the story only loosely resembles that of the books, fans have fond memories of it due to the crackish nature of the game, and for Damon's awesome 90s hairstyle.
