I agree. In my story, however, I take the bits that other people wrote about Vampires and not the ones I don't like. Then I sort of twist them and add new bits to create my own version of the Vampire. I try to give a scientific explanation (or as scientific as you can get) to Vampirism such as : you don't actually die when bitten but your heartbeat slows to such a slow pulse that people assume you to be dead which is why when people were buried, thought to be dead, and they "came back to life" it's because they never died. Things of that nature. I get more in depth in the book.. like freakishly in depth.
