Vampire Lust


Books, films, Tv... Vampires are everywhere, they are literally taking over the world. My stepdad doesn't understand the obsession: "in my day, we knew vampires to be evil. I don't get why they're all over the television screen"

I'm almost ashamed to say that I've bought into the new vampire cult completely. I'm in love with the Twlight Saga, and I don't even know why: the books are poorly written, the films are less than incredible, and the fact that the Cullen family don't drink human blood and parade around schools in the daytime is somewhat ridiculous . Yet, for some reason, I still love it. I think it has something to do with thier immortality. As a self-confessed sufferer of Peter Pan Syndrome (fear of growing up basically), the idea of eternal youth is one I find pretty romantic. True Blood, the vampire TV series based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels, is somewhat grittier and more violent than the Twilight phenomenom, but I am a fan, mostly because the guy who plays Eric Northman is Hot!

With all this in mind, and for no valid reason, I simply refuse to The Vampire Diaries: enough is enough
