An Interview With Joe Laycock on Real Life Vampires. For those of you who’ve followed along with Top Secret Writers over the past month or so, you know that I occasionally reproduce press blurbs that I pick up in the morning news wire that have to do with topics of interest here at Top Secret Writers. In the process I occasionally include my own editorializing. One of those blurbs was a news article that I assumed was about real life vampires – it was a blurb about a girl that ran away from home.

Her step mother and the family investigator both mentioned she had an interest in vampirism, and I made the mistake of off-handedly commenting that this event shows the dangers represented by “vampire cults.” No more than moments passed before my comment area was inundated with furious, passionate and intelligent posts from a segment of the population that I did not realize existed. My Own “Awakening” About Real Life Vampires An Interview With a Fellow Outsider I decided to go directly into the group that seemed the most angry, to understand why. VampCentral.net.

IT IS MY DOCUMENT! This is a non-comprehensive listing of the terminology and lingo used by those in the vampiric community. You may notice that some of the terms included below are the same as what is used in White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade role-playing game. I have added a section after all the terms with links to other sites' glossaries and terminology pages. These terms all have anchors, in case you may be interested in linking to a particular term / definition. I created this document in its original form in 1997.

Vaempires: Revolution Takes the Evil Vampire Stereotype to a New Level. This month, author Thomas Winship has released his new book titled “Vaempires: Revolution”.

It is a post-apocalyptic story where an evil, mutated species of vampire start a rampaging effort to destroy humanity and take over the world. It is by and large another book that seeks to capitalize upon the booming genre of vampires that teenagers are consuming by the truckload in the form of books, movies and products. Unfortunately, the news of this book’s release, and its focus on making the already evil-tainted image of the vampire even more evil and vile, made me realize just how terrible it must be to live within the world that is currently defined by mainstream society as the “vampire.” The release of this book made me remember my foray into the world of vampirism nearly a year ago.

In December of 2010, I conducted an interview with Joe Laycock, a modern-day "vampire-hunter" if there ever was one. During medieval times, the world was in a constant state of war, disease and famine. Vampire Mythology and Folklore.
