Thinking Vampire Stories

[sirhugs]

Not because I have an urge to write one, just have them on my mind.

thinking about how much I loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer started me down that road I think, but not thinking fan fic.

Hardly novel to say that vamps are sexy of course.

Then @KindredFlame mentioned Dracula in a DM. Really got me thinking about how sexy the bloodsuckers are, but how difficult it is to plot, and to have an ending that works.

The trick is to make it fresh.

So I like twists on Vampire lore or going back to aspects that get ignored . Nothing wrong with them being sexy on their own but I like a little something different

For example: my favorite modern vampire novels are Christopher Buelhman’s “The lesser Dead” and “Suicide Motor Club” in those, the vampires look however they did when they were turned but they can put up a glamour to further improve their looks (really old vampires do start looking bad as well) and also hypnotize their prey so they willingly come with them (like in SMC the main villain tells a pair of girls exactly how he’s going to kill them and they still go with him). Easy mind control story there

BUT: I think the aspect that would be fun to explore is as a corrupting presence and a bringer of plague. Doesn’t sound sexy on its own? Well let’s say: vampire is brought to a town ala Salem’s lot. The town however is the main focus. What the vampire in this story would do though is influence the town to be easier prey.

Suddenly, the townsfolk feel their circulation improve. Arousal comes easier and soon even prudes are acting like horny teens. The vampire is just making them easier prey: better circulation means easier feeding and the town being hornier means they are less focused on the threat in their midst, they let vampires into their houses, or they go outside to fuck, making them easier prey

I have an idea for a lesbian vamp story in my ideas document. A vamp and a very damaged mortal woman.

I like my vampires female and capable of the kind of ruthless cruelty one learns over a hundred or more years of feeding on humans.

So, like a play on The Hunger?
Love that movie.

A rare example of a perfect movie. I adore the music, and the choice of cast, and the ending may not make sense but I prefer it to the book.

(The ending echoes Daughters of Darkness where Bathory dies but her spirit lives on in the young vampire she just made.)

So really happily EVER AFTER.

Seems you would like any of the books about drow women. They are not vampires but similar. Series was written by R.A. Salvatore but others have written about them as well. Drow are dark elves that live underground, hate bright light, enslave males and are cruel.
