A slightly older pop culture ref from Bloodlust. Possible backstory for Amber Benson's character - could she be the Lenore from a poem by Poe? (following is from Wikipedia)
Lenore is a poem by the American author, Edgar Allan Poe,first published in 1841
The poem discusses proper decorum in the wake of the death of a young woman, described as "the queenliest dead that ever died so young". The poem concludes: "No dirge shall I upraise,/ But waft the angel on her flight with a pæan of old days!" The narrator finds it inappropriate to "mourn" the dead; rather, one should celebrate their ascension to a new world.
(There is also Lenore, "the Cute Little Dead Girl" a comic book character created by
Roman Dirge)
