Vampires.  They sure do suck these days.  Pun intended.

You’ve got your Twilight vampires who are all glittery and filled to the brim with existential enui.  Then there’s the True Blood vampires who think their whole purpose in life is to act out a different Penthouse forum letter everyday.

Let’s get back to vampirism’s roots, with the bloodsucking fiend that started it all – Count Dracula.  I don’t know about you, but I prefer my vampires to wear capes and medallions, have slicked back hair, and go, “Bleah!  Bleah!” all the time.  Call me old fashioned.

Published in 1897, a stake was driven through the heart of Stoker’s copyright long ago, so you can check out Project Gutenberg’s Free E-book here:

Happy Reading, Suckers!

“Do you not think that there are things which you cannot understand, and yet which are; that some people see things that others cannot? But there are things old and new which must not be contemplate by men´s eyes, because they know -or think they know- some things which other men have told them. Ah, it is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all; and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain.” – Bram Stoker’s Dracula
