Why do we love vampires? What is it that excites us and makes us want to read on?
They are dark and sexy and mysterious. They promise nights filled with danger and passion and that is something seriously lacking in most of our lives.
As with any fiction, I think our love of those creatures has a lot to do with the “escape factor.” It’s that ability to set aside the normal day-to-day existence and dare to step into a world filled with creatures and things that we can only dream about.
Sure, at times those things can scare us, but more often than not, they just send that chill of excitement up our spines.
Who doesn’t want to be the heroine of a story being scooped up by the dark and dashing vampire? C’mon admit it; you want to feel his hot breath on your skin and the sensual scrape of his fangs before he sinks his teeth into you. Oh, he won’t kill you. He just wants a taste. A prequel if you will before your night of excitement truly begins.
In reality, there is no dark and mysterious man willing to whisk us off to who knows where for a night filled with passion. But in fantasy the vampire becomes real, for a short time, and we get to live the experience.
In my newest ebook, Halloween Fantasies, I explore the sexual aspect of the vampire and let you step into the fantasy world of Sasha and Dante… with a fun little surprise at the end.
