Talk:Vampire literature

message: I don't have the source to hand, but I think I have an explanation for the difference in the appearance of vampires between folklore and fiction. I was watching Vampire Hunter D with the commentary on when it mentioned something of interest. In America (I can't remember when) a reporter went to an abattoir (slaughterhouse) to do a report, when he saw a number of pale individuals, when he asked about them he was told that they were anemic. He watched with interest as the employees collected blood from the animals and gave it to the anemics to drink. He wrote an article about this after.
I can't remember if the commentator suggested this, but it's possible that it inspred the appearance of many vampires in fiction.

message: I removed a number of books that were basically self-published. Also, removed links to other Wikipedia articles when it was clear that it was referring to someone else.70.107.0.34 (talk) 00:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Aren't there any free pictures that could be used for vampire literature instead of a movie screenshot? I was thinking :Image:Carmilla.jpg, maybe?--CyberGhostface (talk) 02:07, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm in favor of using something from literature instead of from a movie.  Your suggested choice looks good, too.  Pi zero (talk) 04:00, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The article is unreferenced and uninformative. It has only a short sentence about Twilight, possibly the most popular vampire-related book of the decade. Pmlinediter (talk) 10:05, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

message: For an article on Literature there are a lot of films mentioned and used as examples. Look at how long the section on I Am Legendis compared to the rest of that time period. In traits of a Vampire the film Blade is used. There are many other places where films are inserted. I believe this would be a better article if the film references were toned down. On the other hand, this seems to me to be a fair, inclusive and well written article and so this is only a suggestion for others to consider. Nitpyck (talk) 07:18, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Vampire in literature is a large enough topic to stand on its own. Film, theatre, dance and painting are not literature but all have used vampires. Nitpyck (talk) 08:15, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The count is not killed by the kukri blade as people believe. He is wounded and weakened. Elizabeth then cuts his head off to finish him off. Someone  was trying to say the sword slash killed him.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.95.216.113 (talk) 05:30, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Who's this Elizabeth? In the novel the count is dispatched by Jonathan Harker and Quincy Morris. Harker slashes the Count's throat with the kukri knife as Morris plunges a bowie knife into his heart - after which the Count crumbles to dust. Colin4C (talk) 06:48, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I struggle to understand why there are three separate sections for the list of works. Literature, by it's definition, covers all written works. Why, then, is Fiction given a separate section, as well as Juvenile Fiction? I propose the three be merged into "Literature", ordered by date.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.146.46.154 (talk) 19:05, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

message: An editor has just deleted this (and other stuff) from the article, without giving a reason:
::"Heathcliff in Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights (1847), is suspected by his housekeeper of being a vampire, in the final chapter of that novel.
Will editors please give their reasons for deleting stuff in edit summaries or here on talk page. Their reasons may be valid, but if they don't state them we have no chance to know what they might be. I have thus restored deleted material. Colin4C (talk) 08:29, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
