What is the allure of vampires? Since I was a child and I’m sure long before that, the world’s been intrigued, horrified, fascinated, and compelled by the idea of vampires.
What does that bite feel like?
Are vampires wholly evil, only out to kill in the worst imaginable ways? Are they seductive creatures of the night, looking for the one woman (or man) to complete them? To spend the rest of their eternity with?
In the movies we see both. Some portray them as scourges of mankind. Others, the vulnerable hero-monster, wanting to love but so afraid of the monster within. Afraid of turning their beloved, or hurting them with their supernatural strength.
My sister and I both went through periods of time where we feared vampires. She often slept with her neck surrounded with stuffed animals. (Stuffed animals apparently work like garlic and/or holy water – no vampire can get past those sacred teddies!)
Tonight, when you’re lying in bed, close your eyes, expose your neck, and hope for the best (whichever best is the best for you…)
