Lori, you must be my book twin lol I LOVE vampires & werewolves, and grew up glued to the tube watching Dark Shadows, the Addams Family, The Munsters, etc. And my personal favorites are the ancient, eldritch creatures of the night - as those seem to be richer, more full-developed personas that come to us across ages of experience & insight. Furthermore, it's the complications of these personas that intrigue the reader. As we ourselves grow and develop, we discover that nothing in life is black or white, there is no dichotomy that exists - all are only shades of gray. So our monsters must be no less developed than we, the reader. So it's nice to discover an author with 3-Dimensional characters, be they monsters or no. :D
