I loved vamp & horror books as a teenager also.
Vampires have been a much loved part of literature for a century and I don’t think they’re going to disappear anytime soon. The success of Twilight just brought them back to the forefront of the media but they were always there. As a kid who devoured Point Horror books like they were chocolate before moving on to Anne Rice, I am delighted to see vamps light up the literary stage once again. Stephenie Meyers’ sparkly creatures may annoy a lot of people but I think there’s plenty of room for all different types of creatures of the night.
