I literally continued that thought in the next sentence....Dude....

And sorry if after reading more or less only modern fantasy stuff was a little surprised at how different the writing was. Especially a book whose character was adapted into so many adaptations. Most of which, that I have seen were action orientated.

That and I was a little immature kid back then expecting it to be "like in the movies". I think the book is great. I then read Carmilla (thumbs up for lesbian vampires. Surana?) and am currently searching for Vampyre by John William Polidori. No luck yet, I'm afraid
