Could anyone recommend a modern take* on a vampire theme? What would that be?
A literary or a film source would be nice.
Modern take - essentially, a vampire capable of loving (and living in) modern times. A Lestat of sorts.
My tentative estimate would be that a modern vampire would have to be warm blooded, less inconvenienced by sunlight and ultraviolet, and less prone to manic hunger. So yes, they could probably travel on an economy business flight.
At the same time time, they would probably be closer to Hannibal Lecter, less passionate, more alien.
So, any recommendations or suggestions, or different takes?
