Vampires Through Nine Novels

Is there a monster more fascinating or adaptable as the vampire? As a writer of vamps, I'm going to say that, but it still remains true. They've been shifting shape since the Gothic fiction of the early 1800s ... monstrous invaders, romantic heroes, conflicted vigilantes, metaphors for societal decay. What keeps them going? I think it comes down to how well they are able to absorb whatever a given Read more of this blog post »
