"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"

Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

Go after. A stroke victim with blood clots for that bobba tea experience.

You beat me to it

The lore is usually that it tastes different based on what the human ate. Or whatever emotions the human is feeling.

Haven't you watched the Blade movies? At least in part 2 there is blood cocaine and blood... pudding? Something the Overlord eats.

I imagine vampires can't just eat blood fried potatoes, but also they don't just eat human. Maybe Cicadas and Blood. Blood and Fingernails, with the dry leavings of a Leviathan's self measuring event. Tears can substitute only if shed without sincerity

Bite a really skinny person. It'll crunch.

There's probably some interesting digestive side effects to a body used to a liquid diet.

Can imagine a plotline where the vampire is always disappearing after human-style "masking" meals to sit around with stomach cramps and the runs.

Allow me to introduce you to Spain's morcilla. If you want it crunchy, I guess you can deepfry it.
