Well....this is just about all I know about vampires, that they burn in daylight.gali wrote:There are many legends about vampires. I like the fresh take on vampires here. One known "fact" about Vampires is that they burn in daylight. Eric only suffers some ill effect through Sunset and Sunrise, but can be exposed to daylight otherwise. What do you know about vampires and how does it apply here?

I've heard of this. From where I come from, it is said that making eye contact with a vampire would make you a vampire's slave. Something like being hypnotized to do their bidding.Gravy wrote:Mind control. It's rare to find a vampire mythology where they don't have some sort of psychic talent, usually for subduing humans.

I've never heard this one, about the dirt from their homeland. Pretty interesting!Gravy wrote:I can't say how it applies to the book, but one of the original vampire "facts" was that they had to keep dirt from their homeland, to sleep in. That also brings to mind the whole coffin thing, which obviously does not apply here; that much I know from the sample
Also, the stake through the heart.
I look forward to reading more of this thread
