Does anyone know the title of a book that's about a world where vampires have taken over but they've killed too many humans and don't have enough of a food supply anymore?

Thanks 🙂
 
It is more than likely that this isn't the one you're talking about, but that premise sounds a little like Robert R. McCammon's "Under the Fang" (1991).

I'll take a look around the net, and see what else I can find.....
 
That also kind of reminds me of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend. It's more from the last surviving human's POV, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
 
Yeah, Will Smith's gonna be the lead in the I Am Legend movie. I hate Hollywood star vehicle casting, bleh...should be someone weirder, less action hero-ish.
 
Well someone was telling me about it and saying that it was like the vampires were so widespread that they were running out of food because they had killed too many of the human off. *shrugs*

I'm totally gonna go OT here for a minute and cringe audibly. WTF? Really. Now, actually having read a book they're making into a movie [of which I am proud, because I honestly can't recall ever having that happen before], and a fantastic book at that, I'm be all hyper-critical and say SCREW THAT. The cinematography better match what went on in my head otherwise that movie is gonna SUCK. And I HATE sucky vampire movies. And HA! I made a pun.

Continue with original discussion, please.

When Will Smith was cast as the lead in the long-awaited adapted film version of Richard Matheson's I AM LEGEND, it was probably the worst kept secret. After all, his name had been floating around the web for the longest time. Until certain outlets that folks feel are the bible of information put the word out to confirm our story, sources tell blackfilm.com that along with Smith, JOHNNY DEPP has been added to the cast. No telling which role Depp will play, but given his penchant for playing extraordinary weird-like characters, expect a juicy plum part, like the neighbor, now one of the living dead.

Set in Los Angeles after a biological war, the film centers on the sole healthy survivor, a man who finds himself in a battle against nocturnal mutants.

Based on the novel by Richard Matheson, the film will be written by Mark Protosevich. Constantine director Francis Lawrence will helm the film with David Heyman, Akiva Goldsman, Neal Moritz and Erwin Stoff serving as producers.

Matheson's book was adapted twice before. Vincent Price starred in "The Last Man on Earth" and Charlton Heston toplined "The Omega Man".

"”Now, this would be a lot more interesting if Depp were playing the lead, Robert Neville. But he'd be a great vamp too. We'll see...
 
Johnny! Woo! Not to excited about the idea of Will Smith in a vampire film, but now I'm thinking I need to go read the book. I always like reading the books before I see the movies, that way I'll be prepared to be disappointed. 😀
 
Johnny = vampire? SQUEEWOOTYAY! I mean, that's heaven on earth, right there. Two of my favorite things...

Now, if Amy Lee played the part of the girl, I would die. Vampires + Johnny Depp + Amy Lee = OHMYGOD .:dies:.
