Dracula Stamp

While shopping today, I came across the store's book section, and what do I see?
Book after book after book after book, about VAMPIRES.
I took a glance at the back of a couple, and noticed that they all just about had the same plot: Vampire, falls for non-vampire, other vampires want to stop it. It's like publishers went through their slush piles (unsolicited manuscripts they've received), and sought out every vampire-related story that was there.

Now, don't get me wrong; I like vampires. There's just something about them that's seductive.
However, it has to be a GOOD vampire story, not just ANY vampire story. Hence, the above Dracula stamp (and, yes, I know that Bela Lugosi is in the picture, and the quote isn't in the book, but from the movie; Bram Stoker never drew his own version of the character, and Lugosi doesn't really look like the description all that much; so sue me).

All I'm saying is, don't let the *newer* stories, be your *only* stories. Go read DRACULA, SALEM'S LOT by Stephen King, ANNO DRACULA by Kim Newman, or any of the near-countless (pun intended) stories that predate the newer ones. Who knows? You might even enjoy them...
