thats what i liked about the thirty days of night concept. (the comic not the movie, although it wasnt the worst movie ever) they were ugly scary unsympathetic...at first i didnt like the artwork, but after"fell" ben templesmith is starting to grow on me...as for the details youve provided, it does sound like a good monster story, but i might kinda loose interest in the mechanics of how they were "made" but one of the things i like about vamps is the supernaturalness.

and while we are on the subject of vamps, i gotta plug my favorite horror writer "Nancy Collins" and her "Sonya Blue" series! even if you are not a fan of bloodsuckers, its a compulsively readable treat.
