During a discussion with my writer buddies, in which we wondered the latest evolution of vampires, I realized how much I missed my evil vamps. They were the core of horror, the kings of death, and led the pack on human destruction.
Enter cheesy 80s music...Where have all the bad vamps gone?
It clicked. I'm going to write up my evil vamp and bring the true origins of vampire lore back to life...at least for me. I've been so out of the loop on vamps since their sissy-fication that I'm not sure the market for scary vamps anymore. It may never make it to market, but I'm going to try.
I have to finish edits on Revelations of Tomorrow, but in my downtime I'm going to develop and outline a story.
Good writing all!
Evil vamps, zombies that were raised with voodoo, werewolves that tear people apart because of their nature.

I hear where you're coming from. I expect the next wave to be serial killers who fall in love and start quilting bees with the Amish.
Good luck with the story. If you get it done, drop me a line on CC, I would love to read it (dmcushing).
Hehe I remember that conversation! B-)
ReplyDeleteYayayayay! I would love to read your tale of an evil vampire. I've been toying with a vampire idea for a couple of years--but it's more of a comedy and not really scary, though my vamps do not glitter. :D
Nice post! :)
