Smith, who created the “Vampire Diaries” book series that inspired the CW drama of the same name and contributed to pop culture’s obsession with vampires, has died.

Smith’s inaugural entries for the fantasy series famously laid the groundwork for the CW adaptation of the same name by producers Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson.

The CW’s “Vampire Diaries,” riding off of pop culture’s vampire obsession reignited by Stephenie Meyer‘s “Twilight” series and film adaptations, aired from 2009 to 2017.

In 2022, Roosa wrote, the FBI interviewed a cooperating witness, identified only as CW-1, who claimed that rap artists, athletes and other visitors needed to pay Henley a fee when they came to the city.

CW-1 told authorities about a large buy-in dice game in L.A. in June 2019.
