Dire Vampire

So while in the plotting stage of my second manuscript I came across a quote in a how to write fiction for Young Adults that basically said "where are the vampires" the tip after that one was "No seriously where are the vampires?" so you'll never guess what I did. I threw vampires into my story! Now I refuse to make my vampires who sparkle. If vampires are going into my story they're going to be ligit Bram Stoker scary as hell vampires. A lot of the research I've found says most vampires were women who preyed on little boys like in Dracula but that seems to conflict with more than half of my characters. My first manuscript had a few Vampire side parts so I didn't really have to worry to much about folklore and ligitness.
