You know, a vampire book is not a book to be the vehicle for big themes and stuff, where sometimes when you're dealing with art or the life of Christ or the oeuvre of Shakespeare, you know, it's a little more ambitious.

I've been a fan of vampire fiction since way, way back - I loved Stephen King, Anne Rice, Peter Straub, Robert McCammon, Shirley Jackson, lots of great horror and paranormal fiction.

I like the 'Cirque du Freak' books - 'Tunnel of Blood' by Darren Shan. They're set in England. It's about vampires.

I'm into the vampire stuff. I think it's really fascinating and interesting. There's a lot of history behind all of that, and if you look into it, it's really interesting stuff.

I read 'Dracula' in high school. I've been around vampires forever.

I do enjoy Gothic fiction or books about zombies if they are well written and I like vampires.

I like vampires.

When I go home, the last thing I want to do is read about the popular lore of vampires.

The phenomenon of vampires has always appealed to me. Everyone kind of likes a vampire story because it almost could be true.
