My favorite western novel is Vampire story.
Vampires in all novels are beautiful, elegant and cool. They have skin without temperature, and heart without emotion. But all heroes of these novels are different with other vampires, they are kindly, gentle and charming. Most of all, they are perfect handsome! They look like human but are stronger than human and living forever. Vampires are mystery, and I think they are real existence in someplace.
I watched movie of <Interview with the Vampire>, <The twilight>series and <The Vampire Dairy>, <The Originals>. The Plot of these movies and dramas are very attractive and images of vampires are “Renaissance man” with art.
