What do I remind you of when I say vampire?

Bats, Fangs, Blood, Castles, Aristocrats, Darkness, the Moon, Favorite Characters that happen to be Vampires, Apples, Vlad III AKA Vlad Dracula, Van Helsing, Romania, Transylvania, Werewolves (you know, there is always that connection between them), Aurelio Voltaire (yes, listen to Songs such as The Night or The Vampire Club from him), Crosses, Stakes, etc. !!!!

This whole band. And also the band Blutengel.

I had a big twilight phase in my tweens and it's forever ruined vampires for me

In all seriousness, almost all vampire books are YA and it reminds me of that. While I do love the occasional YA, I feel like I'm outgrowing it slightly, or have now read enough "full adult" fantasy that I don't appreciate YA as much anymore.
