Aren't
vampires 'played out' yet?
We can't deny there has been a lot of
criticism for the vampire in romantic and young adult fiction lately,
especially in the wake of wildly popular titles
like Twilight, The Vampire Dairies, True
Blood, and so on. Lots of individual readers and viewers out there would
very much like vampires to go back to
their frightening horror movie roots. As a society, though, we aren't yet done
being fascinated by them.
