Its so strange how everyone suddenly went vampire and twilight mad. Love em or hate em everyone had an opinion about it. I mean vampires have been around for ages with stories of Dracula and people turning into bats around every corner it is hard to get away from it. to me i only read the first book of the twilight saga and found it quite good but to me nothing extra special. I do like supernatural stuff because theirs that mystery to it that I think everyone craves one way or another.There have been close to real vampires throughout history. One of the first was a Hungarian ruler called Vlad the impaler who as you can guess was famous for impaling thousands of people. He was so influential (not in a good way) that is believed that the famous book "Dracula" was based on Vlad. There wasn't just male "vampires" one of the most famous females vampires was a woman called Elizabeth Bathory, she was said to have murdered over 700 young girls. She believed that blood would make her immortal and youthful and was known to have blood showers where young girls were hung in cages above and bled to death so the blood would fall down like a shower which she would bathe in.
So why are vampires now so commonly put in love stories when history of these mythical beasts so brutal?
