Rachel Caine wrote fantasy, science fiction and thrillers for young adult and adult readers, often building long series around dangerous hidden systems. The Morganville Vampires begins when college student Claire Danvers discovers that her Texas university town is controlled by vampires and that ordinary residents survive by following a strict set of rules. The Great Library series imagines a world where the Library of Alexandria controls access to written knowledge and private ownership of books is forbidden, following trainee Jess Brightwell through smuggling, scholarship and rebellion. Caine also wrote adult urban fantasy and weather-based supernatural fiction in the Weather Warden series.
