Apparently angels are the next big teen-lit thing, which is great. They'll make vampires look exciting.

On the other hand, the vampires in Twilight would make a dead dog look exciting.

Personally, I'm waiting for the Clown bandwagon to start rolling 
Seriously overweight men and women in ill fitting clothes, with red noses, straggly hair and large feet 
What's not to be scared about?

Generally I think vampires are getting a bit overworked.
The first episode of True Blood, a vampire was being staked out in the carpark to get the blood from it? Isn't it supposed to be the other way about?
On the other hand I thought Thirst was quite inventive and gave a different take on proceedings.
As with everything else its how you do it that counts.

That staking of the vampire in True Blood was the only thing I liked about it. Turning things on their head is usually a good way to go.

It can be.
I thought that scene was quite dramatic too. But in principle I'm just being a bit old school I think. A bit sad when the vampire becomes the victim.
But it was all a bit too americanified to watch for any great length of time for my taste.

Just so long as you're not staked out on the ground eh?

It would not surprise me if she tried that tactic next...

Is a leech a vampire? This horroris a nose-dwelling leech, Tyrannobdella rex, a new species of leech with a single row of eight "enormous teeth", discovered in South America. (Looks like a Schoenherr Dune sandworm don't you think?)
Quote: A new species of leech, discovered by an international team of scientists, has a preference for living up noses.
Researchers say the leech can enter the body orifices of people and animals to attach itself to mucous membranes.
They have called the new blood-sucking species Tyrannobdella rex which means tyrant leech king.
The creature was first discovered in 2007 in Peru when a specimen was plucked from the nose of a girl who had been bathing in a river.
The creature lives in the remote parts of the Upper Amazon and has a "particularly unpleasant habit of infesting humans", the scientists say.

I don't like the sound of this leech, but I love the name Tyrannobdella rex

Oh, that's foul. There's got to be a story in there somewhere.
