Bleeding Hearts



The allure of the modern day vampire is at its most mainstream. With success in film, television, print and fashion, audiences, especially women, are thrilling to stories of the undead. I suspect a good deal of fascination is concentrated on vampire romance, a reoccurring and central theme in most adaptations. The good girl who tames the bad men is a popular storytelling device no matter the material. Placed in the world of vampires and it becomes the ultimate symbol of girl power. At least for some. Some just want blood.
