Why Vampires Are (and always will be) Popular
Chances are, if you are like me, and you must be because you are reading this blog, then you love vampires and everything paranormal. And what’s not to love about the demonic, immortal, blood-sucking pillagers of the human race? No, wait, that doesn’t sound right. How about—What’s not to love about sexy, otherworldly, kickass immortals, who look really hot in leather and like a little bite with their foreplay?
After all, blood is the new chocolate.
But seriously, even though I like to parody vampire romances, I’m also a hopeless vampire romance junkie. And as a hopeless junkie, I’ve come up with a five reasons why vampires will always, forever, eternally, be popular.
1. LEATHER PANTS. Let’s face it, no one can pull off sexy like the vampire race. It’s in their blood, or maybe our blood, since, technically, they feed from our arteries for survival. Well, whatever they do to our blood once they drain it out of our lifeless bodies, somehow works, ‘cause nobody fills leather pants like the vampires. I’d say it’s definitely worth a few human casualties just to get a good look at those ripped abs, corded muscles and tight rears. So suck on, vampires. Sexy is soooo worth it.
2. THEY’RE PARTY ANIMALS. Yeah, they get to stay up way past my bedtime. I need my beauty rest. Lights out at eleven pm here, otherwise, I wake up acting much like a succubus or demon and no amount of coffee can cure me. But vampires, they can party all night long, much like I did in my sorority days, except they don’t need fake IDs to have a good time. And while you’re downing Bloody Marys at the nightclub and dry humping a much younger version of me on the dance floor, I’ll be dreaming of your tight rear in leather pants.
3. FEEDING IS SIMPLIFIED. You never hear vampires complaining about the cholesterol in their O negative. There’s no Jenny Craig for vampires or super colon blow laxative diet drinks promising immortals they’ll drop ten pounds in two days. That’s because they’re not shoveling bon bons into their fanged faces when they get a case of the late night munchies. Nope, their diet is pretty consistent. Blood, blood and more blood. And how liberating it must be not having to plan meals for the family. Just bring an unsuspecting mortal home to your little fanged children. “Mommy brought home some takeout, kids!” No arguing over pizza toppings. No complaining that the food’s cold, and when the kids start whining, all you need to say is, “Shut up and drink your blood.”
4. COOL POWERS! The vampires in my books have the unnatural ability to boogie and they are great defenders of the environment, but some of the vampires in real romances (not parodies) actually have cool powers. Take for example, Caris Roane’s vampires, who have the power to freaking fly. Have you seen their wings? Check out the cover, then I guarantee you will want to buy the book. And where do they fly, you might ask? Only to ultra-posh, higher immortal dimensions. When they crave double lattes with extra whip, they just fly on back down to earth. Latte drinking vampires! Now that’s my kind of immortal. Shea MacLeod’s Sunwalkers don’t sparkle or combust when they step into the light. Not only does Sunwalker Jack, a descendant of the Atlantean race and former Templar Knight, look hot in stonewashed denim, he fills out the jeans, too, mostly beneath the zipper, if you know what I mean. Which brings me to my favorite reason vampires will forever be popular.
5. VAMPIRES ARE AWESOME IN BED! Having never slept with one, I can’t tell you for sure, but from what I’ve read, there’s a whole lot o’ pleasurin’ goin’ on in vampire books. Of course, since they’ve got this unnatural ability to run faster than a jackrabbit on speed and lift cars over their heads, one would expect them to also be decent in the sack. You never hear a vampire groaning that he has to switch positions because his bad knee is giving him a fit. And their partners aren’t griping, “Make this quick. I’ve got a chicken in the oven.” Nope. When a vampire is ready for some lovin’, it’s all about the lovin’. No spicy fish tacos get in the way of their romantic pleasure, which seems to go on, and on, and on… Vampires get all the fun!
