The story seemed awesome to me as a teenager in the 90s but now it feels like generic vampire stuff. Still good but not as good as it was back then, for me at least. It seems like "generic vampire stuff" now because everyone who writes vampires ripped off what Anne was doing. The book was written in like 1977. She pretty much single-handedly brought vampires back, and spawned a lot of imitators. This is true, and true of a lot of things that are pioneers. They find a new way of doing things and then other people copy it until it becomes cliche. But at the same time, sometimes the originals manage to stand out even among the imitators. The Godfather manages to stand out even though countless movies and TV series have copied it. Rice had a lot of great ideas and she definitely deserves credit for them though. --- i am truley sorry for your lots <cite>action52 posted [p:905560599] in What did y...
