I was just wondering what your favorite supernatural creature to read about is? I prefer vampires

Mages in general, if that counts, and if it doesn't, then elves

 

Interesting thread, btw

I don't normally go for supernatural themed stories, but I do love a good ghost story if it's well-written and not the conventional haunting story cliche.

Gods/demi-god stories are always right up my alley. I'm going to blame growing up with Xena.

I voted Vampires (the love was strong since Lost Souls by Poppy Z Brite), but now that you mention Xena... there is something awesome about corrupt gods and their dealings with mortals. Xena was my crack, and I have no shame!

I loved Harry Potter so Wizards and Witches are up there. I love supernatrual stuff, but my mind is a little too judgemental. I always tend to look for a reason or explaination with something, which makes me shit at believing fully in creatures of the planes. Having said that I still get freeaked out with most horror films, so basically Im just a big baby!

I like zombie fiction.

 

But... I like Tolkien's elves.

Vampires. No glitter. And Elves.

I like the Fae, Faeries, Elves and other-peoples. The kind you would find in Clive Barker's Weave-World and his movie Nightbreed (based on his novella Cabal) and Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow and Thorn and Shadowmarch series. I like Tolkien's elves as well, but I liked them best when they were in their youth and making and doing great things, as in the Silmarillion--flawed to be sure, but much more interesting than what remained in Middle-Earth.

I'm addicted to werewolves for some reason, but I'm always on the look out for something new. Read a good story bout a djinn and an oracle.

Although I do enjoy a good werewolf story thanks to wolfwriter I prefer a shifter story to most, I know werewolves come in the shifter category but shifters can also change in to any form.

[Robert Rex]

Like Scotty, I like a good shifter story.   But, on thinking about it, I don't know I've ever read a shifter story where the character could change into more than one alternate form.

Merfolk have their charms as well. 

[sexyinaf]

Wow there sure are a lot of awesome responses. Aditus, I like how you specify the "no glitter" vampires. If they sparkle, they aren't vampires.

for a species with only two votes: people don't half love it when I write about werewolves...

 

I am a very picky supernatural reader, so I like to read about supernatural areas that I am not learned in, like ghosts. I can't stand reading werewolf stories sometimes, because my brain just can't help but pick out all the canine behaviours the author has made mistakes on.

I was obsessed with wolves as a kid, and the bits that I remember from that sometimes ruin stories for me I feel your pain

I like to read about any of them, if they are done in a way that I can enjoy. Elves, Vampires, and Angels are interesting.
