Have you read Bram Stoker's Dracula?

Alot of that isn't in Bram Stoker's Dracula either.

ann rices vampires are more powerful and perhaps a bit romantic in the way they are presented, I guess that doesnt appeal to eveyone.
I think that was a big part of Stoker's Dracula. The Count would seduce women with is charm. One of the frustrating things about Anne Rice is that she's changed so many of the rules that she's often credited with establishing the "basics of vampires", which is absurd because she stole most of it from others.

I don't necessarily, but that does make sense, vampires should be as diverse a group as humans. Beings such as Dracula were civilized, polite, handsome and charming, they had the wealth and dignity that accompanies being royalty, and that was something that made him so dangerous and interesting.
