Things to Remember When Telling Vampire Stories
2011 nears its end, with 2012 to follow. Many the movie, novel, web comic and television series about the undead await us in the future–and if they deal with vampires let us offer a few gentle reminders.

Young Dracula
The year 2006 saw the best vampire television series so far debut for a run far, far too short. No, not “Blood Ties” wonderful as that show was. Nor was it “Ultraviolet,” another lamented program that left the airwaves too soon. “Young Dracula.” Sounds like a children’s show, doesn’t it? Well, yes and no. The…

With the season two DVD release of Blood Ties coming up (October 6) I thought I’d give the underrated vampire crime show some love. Blood Ties is a Canadian show based on the Blood Books by Tanya Huff (the books rock all things awesome, so check them out). It premiered in the United States on…
