The Lure of the Vampire

I have to admit that I too have a fascination with vampires. I have since I was a child. I don’t know why…maybe it’s the sexiness and mystery coupled with the science fiction and danger.

“Sex plays a part, undoubtedly—today’s pop culture champions infinitely virile vampires who resemble Abercrombie & Fitch models. And perhaps equally salient is the appeal that comes from vampires’ eternal first-hand knowledge. Creatures that have experienced the Civil War instead of just reading about it are hot commodities.”
