This question is not really easy to answer. It's not possible to say that all the Vampire Stories are bad/good, because for me it always depends on the author, the way he/she writes and what the story is about. I read a couple of Vampire books, because I always loved Fantasy stuff. So the first Vampire books I've ever read were the books from the Twilight Series.These books are absolutely well written and good to dive in and forget everything else. But I've also read Vampire books that were horrible. So, I can't really give an answer in generell, but I like Vampire books, because they kind of bring up a new idea of existence, which is pretty cool to think about. Only if the books are really unrealistically written it's hard to get into the theme and to read fluently.

- Latest Review: Demon Freaks by J.R.R.R. (Jim) Hardison
Vampires are really incredible monsters. And I think they don't have to be written a specific way to work, though some work better than others. While I love Bram Stoker's Dracula, I also really enjoy more modern interpretations of them. Beautiful but dangerous. The concept that if they are a vampire, are they a monster? Are they soulless? Have they always been this way, or is there hope for redemption? It's one of the appealing things about this particular monster, because we all want to believe that redemption is possible, and that question almost always surrounds vampires.
For me, hearing that a novel or film has vampires in it is more likely to turn me onto it rather than off.

It can really depend on how they are done. Most of the ones I have read so far, I've liked. I like the mystery and power of vampires.

I did read the Twilight series, because I read an excerpt and liked the writing style.
The fact that it was about vampires wasn't a factor, I just wanted to learn more about the characters and location because I loved the way they were described.
