    Vampires and humans It is very strange how the words vampires and humans have been used in the same sentence for centuries. From the stories of Count Dracula and his three wives, to the Twilight Saga, vampire stories have become famous and like a drug for fans. The story of Vladimir Tod, the teenage vampire, by Heather Brewer is no exception to this. The writer tried to make this book interesting to boys and girls and therefore chose a simple colour scheme, and a simply designed cover to…

    “It’s the little things that are vital. Little things make big things happen” (by john wooden), I agree with this quote by Mr. Wooden. I may not be related to vampires, but it is true little things the vampires do help our humanity. It has created believer to keep believing in science fiction.

    • 679 Words
    • 3 Pages

    cannoned as “the story that invented the genre.” The archetype for the vampire is most closely resembled to Stoker’s Count Dracula. It is in Dracula that we find the greatest similarities to that of the modern vampire: no reflection in mirrors, transformation to a bat, and the creatures must have an invitation to enter a home. Dracula is horror at its finest; the traits the Count holds are enough to scare me into the wee hours of the morning. I have no idea how Mina Harker, the woman that…

    human blood (Beresford); some of these creatures are their own supernatural species while others are revenants, humans who have returned from death. But even the latter have little in common with the graceful, aristocratic and seductive figure that is Count Dracula, the archetypal literary vampire. Although he was not the first of his kind, many scholars agree that no other text shaped the image of the vampire to a greater extent than Bram Stoker's novel. For more than half a decade the term…

This means that if a…
