Create Vampires is a book, intended as a guide around literary pitfalls, and as a non-Fictional resource written for readers fascinated by vampires and similar monsters!
Vampires Of The Imagination
[edit | edit source]
Although vampires are creatures of folklore, monsters from the afterlife that are sometimes called the "un-dead," vampires are uniquely different from ghost, those lingering spirits who refuse to die.
Although vampires, by definition, are animated corpses, vampires of the imagination must feed on human blood in order to continue their earthly existence.
This unique quality makes vampires a popular and original type of fiction, slightly different from other creatures found in folklore.
About This Book
We hope this book will clear up many mis-notions, and common misunderstandings associated with the "un-dead," especially a common confusion about the actual people who did inspire vampire folklore, verses the evolved horror creations called vampires of the imagination.

This book will introduce 5 "original" fictional creations (or oddly unique persons):
- vampire-person
- zombie-person
- hungry-ghost-person

- demon-person
This book, intended as a short guide for people, should focus on why a vampire-person is a original fictional creation.
We hope this book will include tips that will help writers, and questions that challenge our notions.
What type of book can help people became better writers?
A factual book with useful information.
A combination text-book, tutorial, and self-study course-option is intended, yet if done wrong, results may be an experimental book, in need of improvements and development.
