From all the folkore, they seem to be deadly. But mostly any book or story about a vampire has some sort of love affair, weather it works out or it ends in tragedy.

After all we are in the 21st Century yet there are the modern equivalent of Jane Eyre's Mr. Rochester, Pride and Prejudice's Mr Darcy and Sense and Sensibility's Colonel Brandon roaming about novels and films. There is just something about angst that woman are drawn to but that doesn't exactly explain the appeal to men. I guess men cast themselves in the role of the tortured misunderstood one or the predator. Who knows? It may take quite awhile before the “romantic” vampire is retired from the media and books.
