The Strain handles vamps a bit differently than what the majority have gotten used to seeing. They're brutal and creepy, and function like a hive mind. Pretty cool stuff.
Not everybody has the identical type of vampire, but there is conformity when people write vampires.
Do vampires always need to be portrayed as living humans?
i like werewolves (though other werebeast need some love) but i don't mind vampires but...and this might be unpopular but...FREAKING HATE ZOMBIES. I'm like the only person in the freaking universe that unconditionally hates them. so naturally, the idea of blood sucking zombies is a turn off. much prefer more cold calculating takes on vampires than just another dumb monster.I hate vampires. They're disgusting.
Now, werewolves? I'm totally in.
