Chapter Sixty Five: Hematology

The thing I love about vampires that I find

fascinating is that, unlike other sci-fi creations,

they aren't monsters from the get-go,

they are human beings first [. . .] and so

what kind of human you are would dictate

what kind of vampire you would be.

I like to get one pair of shoes and wear them

till they're dirty. Besides, I don't walk -- I glide,

like butter. Float like a vampire. I'm like

Louis Vuitton, but smoother.

He wishes he were like me.

It's almost as if we each have a vampire

inside us. Controlling that beast, that dark side,

is what fascinates me.

Sometimes I feel the only way I can get a

major publisher interested in mental illness

is if I find a character who has bipolar disorder

and is also a love-sick vampire attending

an evening school called Hogwarts.

But I'm not giving up.

There seems to be a feeling we need Klaus

to be in 'The Vampire Diaries,' surely and

partially because of the Klaus and Caroline

dynamic, but many people like the character.

They want to see more of the character,

but people really have a tendency to

fear the unknown.

One of my favorite vampire movies is

'Nosferatu,' which has a palpable sense

of dread that's pre-war dread.

Fantasy is my favorite genre for reading and

writing. We have more options than anyone

else, and the best props, and special effects.

That means if you want to write a fantasy

story with Norse gods, sentient robots,

and telephatic dinosaurs, you can do just that.

Want to throw in a vampire and a lesbian

unicorn while you're at it? Go ahead.

What you and I understand as a government

doesn't exist in many African countries.

In fact, what we call our governments are

vampire states. Vampires because they suck

the economic vitality out of their people.

 Government is the problem in Africa.

But other vampire movies? Well, no, I really

haven't read too many, and I can't say I'm

crazy about romantic vampires anyway --

to me, the vampire is simply an evil monster.

The 'Vampire of Ropraz' claims to be based

on a true story, but the name of Rosa's

father matches that of a notable Swiss

artist and restorer. The eventual suspect has

the overlong teeth and shambling menace

of a would-be vampire, but Chessex leaves

the real possibility of his guilt

as an open question.
