Vampires

What do you think about vampires?

Do you like the ones of Twilight or Anne Rice's or Vampire Diaries? Are you reading any book about them, Bram Stoker, Le Fanu? How much do you know about them?

Personally I've got a little culture about them, but I think it's not enough to have the whole literary and cinematographic situation in mind. I've always heard about Dracula and all that stuff, but only in the last 6 years I read or seen a bit of vampires. Now is vampires time, as we all notice each day. Is it a good or bad thing? People prefer creatures istead of humans because they're more fascinating or because they hurt much less than real persons who can be mean and dangerous?

Books: my favourite writer is Anne Rice, I didnt' read all the Vampires Chronicles, but a few: "Interview with the vampire", "The vampire Lestat", "The Queen of the Damned", "The Body Thief" and I'm reading "Pandora" in the original version. Then, I read all the Twilight saga, it caught my heart, I needed a character like Edward in my life! So: "Twilight", "New Moon", "Eclipse", "Breaking Dawn" and I'm reading the web version of "Midnight Sun". Obviously I started reading "Dracula" by Bram Stoker, but I didn't finish it! I'm ashamed.

Films and Telefilms: "Bram Stoker's Dracula" with Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves; "Interview with the vampire"; "Dracula's Legacy" with Gerard Butler; "Queen of the Damned", "Underworld", "Van Helsing", "Twilight", "New Moon". I like very much "Vampire diaries", even though I never read the books. I love Stefan and Damon!

Maybe I'll write a post about Edward, Lestat and the vampires I loved and I'm still in love with. I wanna read "Let me in" by John Ajvide Lindqvist and other sagas, because I think sometimes I need a leap into imagination, like when I spent quite a whole summer reading Anne Rice's novels, they were so moving and seducing...
