Absolute evil (if that exists), bloodsucking creatures, with not a care. You’d imagine Dracula, perhaps. Lestat, the chap from Slayer, and most of Rice’s – thought of whom – curdle your blood.
But apart from Dracula, the first vampire to get to me was Andre LeBrel. Young looking, neat as a pin, warm, and a good guy. Bless Lackey, for since I have not been able to think of vampires as all-evil. There’s Otto Chriek, and the Black Ribboners on Discworld; no Pratchett fan can forget Carpe Jugulum. Then came Digital Knight. I believe Stephanie Meyer’s vampires abstain from human blood.
So after someone asked me a question – I’m wondering. What do you think of them?
Five words you can use to describe vampires? or which you associate with them?

Pale, Fanged, Corpse, Puncture & Tall. Vampires fascinate me. Esp. after reading the quintessential Dracula when I was 12.
…no Pratchett fan can forget Carpe Jugulum
Hear, hear!
Also, try Meyer’s Twilight series. You’ll like it.

Getting reminded of Lestat’s words – come out, come out. where ever you are.

@S – I did try Meyer recently! I love it! I have read only two of the four, but I am willing to wait for my next flight to buy the others, books here are so expensive!
@juggy – people from books, man, maybe vonnaku theriyadu.
@posion – do you like lestat though?
@incognito – Thanks. But that’s the typical dracula association. No new age vampirism for you, I guess!
@Josh – Thanks!
