ReplyDeleteI guess Casper is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners!!!!! My favorite would also be Casper the friendly ghost!!!
ReplyDeleteI actually like Sookie from True Blood. I think the books are better the show although I like the show too.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, sounds as if it's your day today because you're getting to do just what you want.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite paranormal creature is the vampire. The basic story hasn't changed much, but the face of the vampire has. Love was always the root of the story. From Dracula to Nosferatu to Rhage - they all wanted love and acceptance.
My favorite vampire will always remain Lestat de Lioncourt, The Brat Prince.
Congratulations to the winners!
ReplyDeleteI always felt sorry for Frankenstein. And also Golum from LOTR.
Congrats to the winners. My fave paranormal characters: Lestat, Dracula, Castiel (the Angel from Supernatural).
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to beat Bram Stoker's Dracula. Thanks, Kim.
ReplyDeleteI always loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm not really into vampires, but this show had spunk and was different.
ReplyDeleteDracula!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS WINNERS!
Thank you, Kim, and congrats to the other winners!
ReplyDeleteI like witches. Samantha is my favorite!
My favorite paranormal character is the vampire - i love Jeaniene Frost's vampires in her Night Huntress series - Cat, Bones, Spade, Vlad and Mencheres.
ReplyDeleteI like Clay from Kelly Armstrong's books.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners.
Eric from True Blood.

That is a difficult question, but I think I'll pick Acheron from the Dark-hunter series.

ReplyDeleteI have more than one favorite, but I will just give you just one.
Acheron from Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter Series. :)
I really like Ronan from Amanda Ashley's book Dead Perfect. But also have a soft spot for Eric Northman.
ReplyDeleteIused to watch Dark Shadows when it was first on TV and Barnabus Collins was very intriguing. However, I think Anton from Kate Douglas' Wolf Tales is my favorite all time paranormal character.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners!! I'm another fan of witches... Loved Endora in Bewitched!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all of the winners. That is so amazing how these stories came about. One of my favorites is Nasferatu.

Congratulations to all the winners! My favorite would be Patrick Swayze's character in Ghost.
ReplyDeleteWhen the victim of a corporate scam finds himself deep in hostile Africa, his discovery of a rare-earth mineral sparks a chase for evil riches; greed and lust must be overcome to keep an arcane tribal secret from revelation.
ReplyDeleteThe catalyst is a corporate fraud. An innocent man on the run where danger of every kind lurks – and where brutal love joins a pair of fugitives in a quest to hide a shocking discovery from being exposed to corruption and greed.
An exciting thriller with lots of twists and turns in a forbidding landscape.
