Get up close and personal with the cast of The Vampire Diaries.

VAMPIRES are here to stay. They have a solid footing in pop culture and that is mainly due to the hugely successful Twilight series of films.

However, though every filmmaker and TV executive might have jumped on board the "vampire express", not every vampire related show is just Twilight in disguise.

For a few episodes on Season One of The Vampire Diaries (TVD), it may have seemed that brooding vampires and tragically doomed romances between mortal and immortal were the order of the day.

But TVD has proven that this show packs some serious bite and Season Two, which is currently airing every Tuesday on 8TV, is loaded with more supernatural shenanigans, spells and thrills.

The plot really thickens this season as relationships are tested, unlikely friendships are forged and mysteries are unveiled. And in tribute to members of the fanged fraternity, Galaxie has an entire spread dedicated to bloodsucker fans of TVD.

Editor Gordon Kho flew to London to meet up with TVD's Kat Graham, Candice Accola and Steven R. McQueen, and came back with an exclusive cast interview and insight that TVD is more than just a series with good-looking stars.

Besides this exclusive interview, Galaxie's TVD cover special also includes a look at the two gorgeous vampire brothers – Stefan and Damon Salvatore (played by Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder) – and pits Nina Dobrev's dual roles of Elena Gilbert and Katherine Pierce against each other so fans can decide who to love and who to loathe.

Whether you're into vampires or not, Galaxie has something for you in the Aug 1 issue.

There are also the very best bits of gossip related coverage on popular stars like Justin Bieber, the latest movie news, a fashion spread on Lady Gaga and favourites like LMFAO and Gossip Girl's Matthew Settle.

And just when you think it won't get any better than this, there are the contests that always offer some of the best goodies and pop culture merchandise. This issue's big giveaway is for Gleeks.
