I don't mean to be bitchy, it was just something I assumed to be less prevalent. As there been a change of heart on the matter?
It is less prevalent, ceratinly, though there are the vampires in the yellow house on Benefit Street, vampires in "So Runs the World Away" and "In the Garden of Poisonous Flowers," Low Red Moon and Daughter of Hounds. It's not that I ever really stopped writing vampires, so much as that I toned them way down and moved away from most of the modern clichés, vampires sensu Rice and Collins and whoever else. Then, when I began the vignettes, well there's no point in denying that vampirism is one of my kinks, so it was prety much impossible and pointless to try to stay away from them.
Look at it that way, and it's not really that I ever stopped writing about vampires (regardless of what I might have said to the contrary). It's hard not to be reactionary about vampires. There's so, so much shit out there.
