Vampires

Hey Larry,
Just a heads up that I've used a couple of your articles on my blog and my website, providing you with back links... and because I liked the content.
Since you're big on the vampire stuff, how about taking a look at my new novel, if I may request your consideration. Like many authors, I've created my own "twist" on the ancient myths... however, one that comes across as more plausible and believable. Of course, the humor and down-home feel to the book helps too!
I would value your feedback and/or plugs. Sookie fans will love my take on things.
Thanks, hope to hear from you. I'm on facebook and twitter and you'll find links to my blog and such on my site: http://www.michaelclutton.com/juice
Talk soon! Keep up the good work for all vampire enthusiasts!

crosses sunlight garlic silver, do nothing. only arcane ability can kill a vampire. you have to be a natural hunter to posses that power.

there are vampires and vampires. some feed off human blood others feed off raw meat. the latter are known as vegetarians. i am a natural born slayer, but would never touch a vegetarian vampire. its a good way to die early.

will you make me a vampire.... pls...

i'm desperately wanted to be a vampire,,, who can help me? e-mail me pls...

why do you call them it? they are still human. they look, walk, talk, behave (usually) like humans. so they are. it's like the domaciticated animal and the the one still living in the wild. although some vampires are more civil then most all mortals these days.

if you sever the head you'd kill anything.
sorry. this is the only sure way to kill one.

To all of the Hunter Clan and other slayers/hunters, whom read this. you should stop while thou are a head. for if we are threaten to extinction you will cause for the creation of more! and soon there shall be to many. We were first and shall never die out, so, i advise you to stop while your ahead.

you've try for centuries, and gotten nowhere, only cause wars!

My name is Garde de la nuit, which in french means keeper of the night. I have lived for many years only resting at a youthfull stage of my life even as time passes. I only tolerate raw meat, i detest cats and dogs seem to oblige with my every command. I need to know if i am a natural born vampire...i was born with bright blue eyes and very pale skin unlike the rest of my family. I have remained with a pale complexion and larger incisors that are extremely sharp...i do not thirst for human blood.Who am i? What am i?

If there are any slayers reading this, why do you kill them? Many of them didn't have a choice on what they were going to become one day.

yeah some of the things you have up there are right but some of them aren't even close to the truth, I mean would some one like a slayer really want to kill a vampire with a stake.

my bad! there are natural born slayer's! I'm am one!! belive me if you want to or not. i'm not going to tell you my life! that would be to long! But I was bitten, I died, and had an overwellming eurge to kill my maker. I did, and now have a sence of when they are around me. I have been alive for 166 years. I have killed over 80 vampires only 20 of them were new borns, but a vampire is a vampire! I will contiue my search and kill any of you bottom feeders that cross my way!

Greets editor,

Hmm.. that could be a good idea. I think I have the know how in both vampire the masquerade and vampires in general to put something interesting together. I'll definantly get back to you with some info. I don't want to emulate other people's sites I want to have a site with a unique look and feel. The non-V:TM but vampiric information is a great idea it really should help people enrich their chronicals.

In a nutshell here is some basic vampiric rules... (laws?)

1. The embrace

Unlike popular myth in order to create a vampire you must first remove all the blood from the system of the host human and then replace it with a bit of your own. Some sires litterally suckle their childer at the wrists other simply give a few drops and leave the fledgling vampire to their own devices. Those first nights are filled with a lust for blood and most childer give in to frenzy or a state of pure unbridled lust for vitae as the kindred call blood. Most "good" sires leave a bit of blood aside.. or even live victims such as the childers wife or children (the better to sever the ties with the living eh?) Anyway, it is a highly regulated privilage and the sire and his childer would be hunted down by either blood hunt or princely edict if does not first gain permission by a prince.

2. Vampire Hunters

Most vampire hunters are completely clueless and never come close to slaying a real vampire or any other supernatural. Most good hunters hunt under the roman catholic church under the name "The Society of Leopold" which is little more than the inquisition with a modern twist. The government has also made inroads into the hunting of vampires but they are closer to unlocking the mysteries of the fabric and the underworld. In the eastern lands and some backwards european towns their exists some "traditional vampire hunters" (I've been to backwards european towns it's true crosses on the lawn and all even in this world of technology and commerce) Oh, In case I haven't mentioned it earlier stakes through the heart don't kill vampires only paralyze them and running water and garlic do nothing.. Crosses can do things but only if one of true faith holds them. Sunlight turns all but the strongest vampires to ash.


I hope that set some things strieght yes I know a lot of misspellings and the like are in there and I apologize for that I was typing off the top of my head... I'll start on a subsite or whatever as soon as possible...

hi. i'm doing a thesis on the topic of vampires. but while doing the research i was very confused. they say in the book that the historical character that the vampire idea came from, Dracula Vlad Tepes "the impaler" was prince of transylvania. other times they say he was the prince or emperor of romania. then they say something about him ruling wallachia. i don't know where to distinguish this. is transylvania inside romania? is it a neighboring country? i looked at the maps in the books and i'm still confused. i'm really stuck on this and i'd appreciate any help you can give me. thank you. :)

thanks alot for the tips abought vampires and how to kill them even but i must ask a favor from you can you put more stuff on killing vampires and more tip's even well thank's bye.

i think that u should go into more detail on the life of Vlad Tepes aka. The Impaler. Its really interesting

i believe that the vampire legend was inspired by rabies because of many reasons.

I saw your message at alt.books.anne-rice about ways to kill Anne Rice's vampires. Armand in IWTV states "Fire...sunlight...dismemberment...nothing else," as ways to kill them.
Hope that's helpful!

Are there any other historical or important sites to see, other than the explanation of the vampire, at Transylvania, Romania?

If so, would you know any of them?
