- CreatorJulie PlecKevin WilliamsonStarsNina DobrevPaul WesleyIan SomerhalderThe lives, loves, dangers and disasters in the town, Mystic Falls, Virginia. Creatures of unspeakable horror lurk beneath this town as a teenage girl is suddenly torn between two vampire brothers.Surprisingly uncompromising in its gothic-cool supernatural romance tale with a body count among important characters that's as high as The Walking Dead, and character nuance that on one occasion even rivals A Song of Ice and Fire. Far superior to similarly-themed stories such as True Blood and Twilight.
