bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
These days most folks associate Doctor Who with folks like David Tennant and Matt Smith. But die-hard fans of the show remember the Time Lord’s previous incarnations. One of the last episodes of the series original run aired in 1989. Long before Twilight or The Vampire Diaries or True Blood or Being Human, the world’s …
Often times when I hear people pissing and moaning about the vampires of Twilight, The Vampire Diaries and so on, I can’t help but do an internal eye role. They usually say the same old things, like… “Vampires aren’t supposed to fall in love, that’s not scary!” “Vampires kill humans, they don’t befriend them!” “Vampires …

Some spoilers follow. I am a huge fan of British author Tanith Lee. Her Tales of the Flat Earth for example make for one of the most original epic fantasies (if you can call them that) ever. Likewise her books about the vampiric family the Scarabae as well as an undead re-telling of Snow White …
There are quite a few lovely vampire poems that have been penned, but one of my (many) favorites is Conrad Aiken’s The Vampire.

The wonderfully varied and unique history of vampires has always fascinated me and I am consistently amazed by what people long before me once believed. One such belief was what happened after a vampire was destroyed. Hundreds of years ago, when the belief in vampires was very real, people thought that not only did a …

As every Vampire Diaries fan knows – Elena is now a vampire! The big Season 3 finale ended with Elena being turned into a vampire after drowning.

A superhero is nothing without an archnemesis. Likewise each detective needs a crime. For vampires, they remain pale-faced immortals without someone upon whom they feed–the Victim! Behold a list of ten exemplary victims in vampire films. Keep in mind the criteria here involves much more than a good bite. That’d be a different list. Here …
The history of vampires is incredibly vast and stretches across every country on the globe. Everyone has their own, sometimes bizarre, vampire myths and legends. Folktales that have existed for hundreds of years are still remembered today among those who love the historical world of vampires. I am one of those people who adore the …

According to the interwebs, the young adult vampire novel, Soulstice: Luna’s Dream by Lance Dow and Keana Texeira, is making its way to film.
