Vampires come in many flavors: Monster, sparkling, brooding, silly, and numerous others, often united by little more than a shared taste for human blood. But the horny vampire—once the apex predator of so many fevered and turgid dreams—has seen its star fall a bit in recent years. That’s partly due to the Twilight series transitioning the most popular model of bloodsucker from “fuckable” to “cuddle-able,” but it also, presumably has something to do with author Anne Rice easing off the throttle on her Vampire Chronicles series of books, once the primary gospel for steamy-eyed, plasma-hungry anti-heroes.
