This reminded me of the vampire story plot I keep meaning to work on: It's set in the 60s and is about a group of hippies and drunk addicts that get vamped and start running a garlic plantation for vampire stoners. And yeah, in the words of Spike, "I can't believe people still fall for that Anne Rich crap."
See... now that's awesome. The whole idea of a bunch of granola hippies still trying to be hippies even though they are now bloodsuckers would be hilarious. (I can see them being all happy about their organically grown garlic, roflmao).
I demand that you entertain me and write this story.
This has been done, sort of. There's at least two books...um, they were published by Penguin (some imprint of Penguin -- Roc, maybe?) in the 90's. They feature a bunch of baby booming 'vampires' in San Francisco. In this universe, vampirism is a genetic condition and they treat drinking blood like an addiction. The plot involves them all becoming 12-steppers and then slowly falling off the wagon.
However, in keeping with canon, they are all pretty hot, all sexual dynamos (a side effect of the blood, in this case), and dress well.
I can't remember the author or titles of the books for the life of me. I only know the publisher because that's why I read them -- was working there and they were free.
There's also some short stories about a bunch of heroine addicts that become vampires, which also draws parallels between drug addiction and vampirism. However what I had in mind wasn't really to do with addiction, but about mocking vampire fiction (of course that's already been done as well).
God, am bored today. L is feeding constantly, speaking of vampiric-like tendencies, and I can't get off this chair and get anything done.
The World On Blood by Jonathan Lewis Nasaw is the first book. There was a sequel where they all went to a Carribean island and had more blood and sex. I wouldn't exactly recommend them, but I was amused.

It's like Adam and Eve taking you to the movies, man.
