Vampire: The Metaphor
Vampires have taken over our lives. They suck out time via books, television and film like no other supernatural beast ever could.
Why?
Because they look like people, like you and me, they can walk among us unknown and seduce us with their glamour, mystique and plain ole' attractiveness.
Vampires are always beautiful, those that ugly, do not need to be. We are attracted to the fact that they are excluded from daylight, that they are reflected only in the eyes of human (their prey) and to the fact that they are immortal.
They do not die.
We pass away and they pass on.
Vampires have reached a kind of peak of pop-culture popularity. Ten years ago when I was fourteen and obsessed with Buffy, I read Dracula, Interview with a Vampire and thought Bella Lugosi was the shit.
Vampires were awesome.
Now... they're poster boys for Abstinence.
Where have we gone wrong.
