Interesting. Sort of like a cross between a lamia and vampire and a go'auld.
I had to google the last one, but I think that's probably a good summary.

I know when a lot of people think of death, they think blood, fear, rage...basically the color red....death comes across as a cold, dark, pure blue to me.
It's not as dramatic as Hollywood says it is, no "rage, rage against the dying of the light". It's quiet, and sad, and gentle.
Okay, enough of me being vaguely (and badly) poetic. Does that description of death make sense? And does it fit into the themes I've chosen for my story?
Why can't Buffy come through and stake all the Cullens?
Only against modern vampire literature, and who cares about that?
I suppose it depends on your definition of modern, because Bram Stoker sure was not ancient literature, but lust is a huge part of Dracula. I suspect that's why vampire literature eventually evolved into Twilight. I mean, nothing has redefined what it means to be a vampire the way Dracula has, and he was very seductive (and creepy). I think that was probably the original break from the zombie-vamps of old.
Oh wow, that's dead-on, Phillip.
I know when a lot of people think of death, they think blood, fear, rage...basically the color red. I'm an artist and a highly visual person, and I often think in colors (which is, yeah, kinda weird). When I think of death, I think of cold, a winter's night, quiet fear, surrender to the inevitable, ice...death comes across as a cold, dark, pure blue to me.
