"Awaken to darkness on this place we call Earth,
One vampire's bite brings another one's birth.
A vampire wakes with blood thirsty needs
On the warm rich sensation he feels when he feeds.
He stalks in the night like a disatrous beast,
And what once was alive will soon be deceased.
So when the last bit of sunlight disappears from the sky,
You better watch out unless you want to die."

~Victoria Boatwright ~

It's also one of the most enduring: Vampire-like creatures date back thousands of years, and pop up in dozens of different cultures around the world.
