Countless killers during the 20th century have been inspired by the predatory and seductive manner of the most famous vampire in fiction and film, Count Dracula. Published in 1897 in England, the novel Dracula has never been out of print. According to vampire scholar Martin V. Riccardo, of the approximately 300 vampire movies made since Bela Lugosi played the bloodsucker on the silver screen in 1931, a third have been about the character of Dracula.

*blink blink* 'LB just smacked into the fireplace. But she'll be okay, she's got a hard head.' A small smile creeps across Koreena's lips. 'Demon just gave me a hug. I didn't hug back. Oops. Why am I not moving?' The smile disappears again. 'I'm home. People recognize me, they must have missed me too.' The smile is back again as she is guided to a stool.

Demon looks quizzically at her. After a few moments she lifts her eyes and catches the look.

Bewitch me with your eyes of fire,
Let me sink into the glow.
My body burns with deep desire,
Please never let me go.

I come to you so willing,
My heart and soul are yours.
This love is so fulfilling,
See how my spirit soars.

Turn me not away love,
For with you I belong.
The feeling comes from deep within,
So never declare it wrong.

My place is by your side dear,
Whatever it may take.
Our destiny that is so clear,
You cannot now forsake.

Give to me your savage kiss.

From the Jewish letters (lettres juives), letter 137 -- We have just had in this part of Hungary a scene of vampirism, which is duly attested by two officers of the tribunal of Belgrade, who went down to the places specified, and by an officer of the emperor's troops at Graditz, who was an ocular witness of the proceedings.

People are afraid of my kind
No one is safe when I am around
I do not sleep at night, I do not ever sleep
I died many moons ago
I am a vampire
The undead

I walk the streets looking for innocent humans
The blameless are always a better kill
Their blood, more health-giving
There's always a chance of an after-life with us
A creature of the night
I am a vampire
The Undead

In a coffin made of blood, made of blood
Kiss me baby
So I can taste your blood
I am dead, living-dead
