After all, if we don't like something, we are not forced to read it.

+1. If zombies can go from undead slaves to slow moving flesh eating undead to fast moving flesh eating undead, then vampires can morph as well. I think that Jim Himes commented on the various type of vampires in one of his Libriomancer books.
