I really like mythology, thrillers, suspence, things such as vampires, witches, werewolves, dragons, etc. Names of authors or names of books would be really appreciated

The Dragon series by Anne McCaffrey.
Mercedes Lackey has some terrific books
There are some vampire stories written by Charlaine Harris that I enjoyed. She also writes mysteries.
I am a big fan of Raymond Feist, you may like him.

If you like thrillers, in my opinion the best thriller writer on the planet today is Matthew Reilly. Go to the bookstore and buy or go to the library and read any book by him. They are all great. Another author is Jack DuBrul and a third is James Rollins, but the only book I liked by Rollins was AMAZONIA, which is on a par with Matthew Reilly's book TEMPLE. Both are really great reads and will keep you on the edge of your seat as you get into the books. However, Mr. Reilly's book ICE STATION takes off from the third paragraph and doesn't let you go until the very end of the book. Enjoy!!!!!

I suggest "Reflections” by Kaze Woods. It is a supernatural story mixing fiction with non-fiction while injecting elements of magical realism. Can only get it online at amazon.com for 14.99. 320 pages. Trade paperback format. Here is what the back of the book says:
What if you where a 19 year old Detroit teenager that suffers from nightmares linking you to another you from another reality? How would you react if a demon that visits human dreams proposed to merge its essence with you, effectively making two beings one? Would you accept the reality that that is placed before you… or, like a typical human, reject it all as pure nonsense?
Kris F. Gemini is such a person. Philosophical and blunt, he is a troubled individual to begin with. His lack of trust and shunning of others have turned him into a lonely young man who’s mind is filled with dissolving negativity for the world around him.
His outlook on life in general slowly changes when a twenty-one thousand year old demon enters his life. In exchange for being allowed to experience his world through his eyes, the demon allows him to change into a side of himself that physically represents the negative feelings that he has experienced, effectively turning him into a brutal killer… but that is secondary.
The process of the main character coming to terms with himself and those around him is more important than what he can do in his “other” state. The conflicts fought in this story are more on a personal level. The true motive that lies behind why the demon has decided to merge with him is deeper than he believes… and it has nothing to do with taking his “soul” or deciding the fate of his world.

The 500 kingdoms by Mercedes Lackey (so far check by The Fairy Godmother) - or even Mercedes Lackey in general, any of R.A. Salvitore's works - mostly used with Dritz Do'Urden (dark elf), Ed Greenwood, Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman, The Dragonlance series.

Z for Zachariah by Robert C. O'Brien
The Chrysalids by John Wyndham
The Candle House by Pauline Fisk
Children of the Dust by Louise Lawrence
Wind on Fire Trilogy (The Wind Singer, Slaves of the Mastery, and Firesong) by William Nicholson
.........that's all I can think of right now...
They're all young adult books, except for The Chrysalids, but they're still pretty good, specially the Wind on Fire Trilogy.
