I just came back from shopping and earlier went to Costco to buy some stuff to get ready for a tour around Eastern Canada.
I find it real interesting that a quarter of the book section of Costco are all vampire genres novels; the Twilight series, the Blue Blood series, the PC Cast vampire series, and I've just bought a 4-in-1 book series called "The Den of Shadows Quartet" by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes.
It seems more like the theme of vampires is coming back to life after Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles series. Not to mention movies and mangas also have vampire themes in them... the whole Twilight series is being turned into movies (Breaking Dawn is breaking into a 3 part movie similar to Harry Potter's 7th book being put into 2 parts... WTF) and mangas such as Vampire Knight, Hellsing, and Chibi Vampire.
Is the theme of vampires really getting popular and is it the main course of horror fiction?
Let me hear your opinion on this topic
