Larry,
There's a book by Barbara Hambly that might be what you're thinking of
(sorry, I can't recall the title). It's set in turn-of-the-century
London and follows the travails of a Sherlock-Holmes-type man who
becomes involved in a vampire underground in London (much to his
surprise, as these are considered silly superstitions by the general populace).

_Those Who Hunt the Night _ and its sequal _Travelling with the Dead_
are good books - but they don't have Vampires ruling London. In London
(and other large cities) but not ruling them.
That said, _Those Who Hunt the Night_ the night is a good book. Basic
plot: a retired British secret agent in Victorian England is recruited
to find who is killing the vampires of London. If he finds the killer
the agent will likely be killed to cover up the existance of vampires,
but if he doesn't both he and his young wife will definitely die. The
sequel involves some of the surviving characters and a trip to Istanbul.
Both are good reads.

Does anyone know if Glen Cook plans any other books in the Black Company

Nicholas,
Glen plans one more book in the Black Company, according to the last
time I saw him (October, at Archon), but he has many committments before
then, including a fantasy trilogy (of the "Song of Ice and Fire" mode).

Oh, good. Because the world really needs another Giant Fantasy Trilogy.
Hopefully, he'll be able to bring the same individuality to it that made
the Black Company stand out.

I realize the Black Company is awesome and the series brought me to Glen Cook,
but does anyone read anything but BC and Garrett? Glen has many other great
stories and some can be had for original price (when books cost less than $2).

I sure, it will be stand out, because,IMHO, all Cook's books are different -
Garret books & BC books, Darkwar & Starfisheries had not much in common.

I certainly do. After discovering the BC when it was new I devoured the
first three Haunting Dread(a friend of mine's personal fav) and enjoyed it
quite thoroughly. I believe the next non-BC I read was Darkwar. A strange
series that for some reason affected me quite a bit. I've recently re-read
The Dragon Never Sleeps, which in some ways needs a sequel and am currently
re-reading Starfishers. I'm also a big fan of A Passage at Arms as well. I
lost interest in Garrett after a couple of books, and Epic Fantasy done ala
Cook could be, should be, what is missing in that genre (though I do think
that Martin is doing a bang up job, just have to tell him to STOP killing
people!)
Sorry for lurking on the list for so long. I've enjoyed it tremendously.
I've been a Cook fan for a long, long time and rank BC very high amongst my
all time favorites. Dragon is up there as well
~John~

"Passage at arms" is absolutely astonishing.
Darkwar books are interesting, but not on the level of BC imho.
I didn't like "Tower of Fear" - re-read it just last month to see if I
missed anything that other people enjoyed it so much, but couldn't find
anything worth mentioning about that book, except the feeling of
extensive boredoom.
