If vampires and werewolves were walking around today, there would be chaos. People would be losing their minds.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think vampires would want to find a way to stay attached to the living, the way human beings do, and that is through love, interrelations and meaning.
I have never met a vampire personally, but I don't know what might happen tomorrow.
Vampires are a genre now.
Werewolves are much more common animals than you might think.
Vampires, werewolves, fallen angels and fairies lurk in the shadows, their intentions far from honorable.
There's never really been a time when vampires weren't so over that you would be crazy to write a vampire book, or so huge that you would be crazy to write a vampire book. I'm not sure there's ever going to be a time. We went from Anne Rice to Buffy to 'Twilight.'
I've always been partial to werewolves, perhaps because there's a desperation to their plight that resonates.
I think we all have to fight the werewolf within us somehow.
Werewolves were far more terrifying than vampires. It is probably the idea of seeing the human within the beast and knowing you can't reach it. It might as well be a great white shark. There is no sitting down and discussing Proust with it, which the traditional vampire model seems to leave room for. You can have a conversation.
I wouldn't tell anyone to study werewolves - I studied wolves, how they moved, their tendencies and sensibilities.
