Vampires

Blood-sucking creatures.That's the easiest way to describe a vampire. The craze started with Twilight.There was Count Dracula before that, but it was nothing compared to Twilight. Edward Cullen to be more precise. The whole concept of cape wearing,coffin staying,razor toothed creatures just disappeared. In came the porcelain skin which would shine in the sun,the golden eyes,the unmatchable beauty.
After that came a million other books with similar story lines,human and vampire bonding. Um....seriously? Even after reading my fair share of vampire books,I still prefer the creepy blood-sucking ones that could be warded off only with garlic. I still picture them sleeping in coffins, with their arms crossed across their chest.When those coffins opened bats flew out and the vampires magically came out like a jack-in-the-box.
Not to say that I am against Twilight.I loved the books and was infatuated with Edward Cullen too. But after pondering over it, I discovered that the word vampire still holds the old image in my mind.
I guess I have to find out the truth about them by myself. Anyone know any vampires? No? Ah well, I guess I'll have to Google it!
