There is a theory called Occham’s Razor. Very simply put it states that the most obvious answer is usually the correct one when trying to explain the unexplainable. For instance: it’s nighttime and you are in your home, you hear the sound of hooves racing past your door. What is making the sound? By applying Occam’s Razor the most logical and simplest answers would be that a herd of horses are passing by. Ergo, my friend assumed it was Elvis. Thank you for correcting the name of the town for me, I now know it is Bon Temps. Having never seen the word in print I had, assumed the town’s name was as everyone in the HBO series pronounced it (“bon ton”). Now I know better. As to your last point—It is hard to compare fictional vampires (those being created by authors for their books) to the historical and mythological vampires. The fictional vampire has to be a good looking guy or girl because most fictional vampire stories revolve around the fact that the vampire is a love interest. It makes the author’s job easy when they allow their fictional vampire to be the epitome of hotness. You are correct; a normal human being would take one look at a historical or mythological vampire and find nothing sexually attractive about it at all. Has anyone ever asked the author of Twilight as to why she chooses to make her vampire glow in direct sunlight? There has to be a reason as to why she chooses the road less traveled. QtR - T Fran,

Elvis Presley is not really named in the books. The character goes by the name of Bubba and if anyone even begins to say El... he becomes unhinged. He is not damaged because of his weight or age but rather because when he was turned he was just a little past the "expiration" date with the result that he feeds on the blood of animals, not humans and he is a little slow of understanding but faithful in whatever duty is required of him and he still has that beautiful voice. Southern vampire clans vie for the privilege of sheltering him and according to the storyline that is the reason for those strange sightings. FYI the name of the town is Bon Temps and the only reason I point this out is that the names has a bit of significance as the English translation is "good times"..a Little irony as there aren't a lot of good times in Bon Temps. OK, so you don't care much for the characters in True Blood. Maybe I do because I enjoyed the books and I can hardly wait till the sparks fly between Sookie,Eric and Bill. I also love Sam because who doesn't like a loyal Collie at their side. Twilight. Well you should get your television screen adjusted because man-oh-man did he sparkle. The absurdity of his angst as he tells her not to look upon him as she will see his true nature in all of its ugliness and then she and we see him looking like a grown up Tinker Bell ...oooh so ugly to see him glowing with a rainbow of colors in the sun. Yes, the terrible secret of the top-of-the-food-chain vampire. Original no doubt but don't vampire myths portray the vampires as sort of demonic and without the use of some sort of disguise or glamor are ugly as the walking corpses that they are?
