So, if you've followed me at all the past couple of weeks, you know I posted a question to readers as to what the most overlooked paranormal creature in literature was. Well, according to the results, everyone would love to see more shape shifters and surprisingly...vampires.
The vampire thing really shocked me. I worried that a certain YA series had killed the vampire genre. I worried that these books and the movies that followed...And then the imitators that followed...had ruined vampires for many years to come, but it doesn't seem like that is the case. Actually, vampires are still a PNR favorite, the only change seems to be a desire for them to return to their sinister roots.
It seems the brooding, sparkling vampire is out and the evil, lure you to your death vampire is back in. I for one love the idea of an undead bad guy, what about you?
Are you ready for some vampires with real bite?
