Most fans know that The Vampire Diaries show is actually based on a series of books by L. J. Smith. The books (like the show) follow Elena Gilbert, a high school girl torn between two vampire brothers. The book series was originally a trilogy published in 1991, but pressure from readers led Smith to write a fourth volume, The Dark Reunion, which was released the next year. After taking a long writing break, L. J. Smith announced in 1998 a new spin-off trilogy entitled The Vampire Diaries: The Return, continuing the series with Damon as the main protagonist. But the ...

Dating back 6,000 years ago is what is believed to be the first recorded vampire - the edimmu of Mesopotamia (also known as the ekimmu). This angry and violent victim of an improper burial not only drank the blood of those that passed by, but would also suck them dry of their life force as well, making them not only one of the first bloodsuckers, but also the first psychic vampires. The edimmu’s anger was mainly directed toward those that had not followed its funeral rites correctly - if someone died and you didn’t give them the burial they deserved, then ...
Riley was a big player on the show for a while, so of course we’d have to have a bio on Buffy’s military boyfriend. Originally from Huxley, Iowa, Riley was the good ol’ boy next door that was Buffy’s boyfriend for part of her freshman and sophomore years in college. He led a double life [...]
Tarot cards have been a part of the occult almost since they were created. Originally, the Tarot were playing cards used for games in France and Italy, but even playing cards have been used for divinatory purposes almost since their creation. As the centuries have passed, and anything to do with magic and divination was [...]

If you follow the news then you’ve heard ALL about this since everyone is going crazy over it – even vampire sites. The big bad news is that over 500 people have been bitten by rabid vampire bats in the Peruvian Amazon. My scientific theory for this sudden increase in attacks is that the bats [...]

I absolutely loved Darren Shan’s Cirque Du Freak series! It is one of the few perfectly unique vampire stories out there; Shan took vampires and made them his own and the result was pure awesome. It sucked when the series ended – but it looks like it’s not entirely over, not yet. That’s right! Another [...]
Everything is Broken About halfway through the episode, I was definitely wondering about this title; not everything seemed broken. But by the end of the episode, oh yeah, pretty much everything was FUBAR’d. The loss of Talbot pretty much pushed Russel Edgington completely over the edge. This episode didn’t have a lot of Bill and [...]
Darla was a mixed bag for me, one episode I absolutely hated the vampire bitch, then the next I loved her. She may not have been hilarious compared to the others, but you’ve got to admit her timing and execution was excellent. But in all honesty, it wasn’t until she went to Angel’s spin-off show [...]

1. He never once hints that he himself is Vlad the Impaler (although there is the suggestion that maybe he is related to that figure). For that matter, the most current scholarship into the novel indicates Stoker himself hardly knew anything more about the historical Vlad Tepes (pronounced tseh-PESH) than the name. It sounded good, [...]
The history of vampires has always fascinated me, every time period viewed them in an entirely different way. In older times, organized religion drastically changed how the undead were seen by the people, this is something I have read countless times in a handful of books, but I recently read a different take on Christianity [...]
Vampires….they seem to be all around us today. Our popular culture is soaking them in like a sponge; movies, TV, books, music, decor and not at all surprising, Fashion.

The parties responsible for canonizing the Bible found certain passages unsuitable, such as one of the earliest instances of vampirism. The Bible has been around for thousands of years in one form or another; whether you subscribe to Christian faith or not, it’s a fact that it’s one of the oldest books in the world, [...]
