About Vampires

Hmm. I seem to have found a premise from which to build from. Vampires! What are vampires? They are mythical and legendary creatures. Stories have been passed around about them for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years. Because of this, there are all sorts of little myths that surround the big myth. Garlic, crosses, holy water, silver, stakes, and sunlight are all part of the lgends behind vampires. So, I was thinking, if one creature could so thoroughly be studied and classified, with so many little details that stand out, then wouldn't it be cool to create a legend of your own? To make a creature with legends and prophecies, myths and secrets, little details about weaknesses and strengths. This would be quite awesome. One could, with enough depth, create an entire series that was based upon the interactions between humans and the creature. I mean, there is a whole collection just on the subject of vampires. LOADS of books on a creature that was created over hundreds of years. I shall think some more later...
