To continue with the vampire theme, let’s have a look on vampires in fiction.

In literature, the most famous book of vampire in the world is obviously Dracula written by Bram Stoker in 1897 which talks about Dracula, the famous vampire of the Carpathians. However it is not the first book which talks about vampire. This last one was The Vampyre of John Stagg in 1810. It was not a novel but a poem about them. It was a modern approach compared to the century which the author lived. This text made the vampire theme popular. After that, there was numerous books of this myth such as : The Vampyre of Polidori (1819), Carmilla of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1872) or Interview with the Vampire of Anne Rice (1976).

Nevertheless literature is not the only field that vampire have invaded. If we take a look about movies, numerous of them take the vampire theme. If I say “vampire”, you obviously answer me “Twilight”. Who don’t know this tetralogy? First it was novels but their adaptations are better known. For you who live in cave, I’ll sum up the topic. It talks about a love story between a human girl played by Kristen Steward and a vampire male representing by the charismatic Robert Pattinson. Obviously their relation isn’t simple and there are a lot of events. But guess what, it’s not the only movie about vampire. There are adaptations of Dracula written by Bram Stoker, and others movies like Nosferatu  : a Symphony of Horror (1922) which was the first movie of these creature.

Twilight

Nowadays the vampire’s presence is much more in series like Buffy, the vampire slayer with Sarah Michelle Gellar and the beautiful David Boreanaz. However the most famous serie in this field is certainly: The Vampire Diaries. This one is very appreciated by teenagers and young adult. If you decide to watch it, you’ll follow the story of Helena who fall in love about a new habitant of her city. But –SPOIL-, he is a vampire and Helena is going to discover his secret.
