My all-time favourite vampire has to be …. Count Dracula himself. You can’t mention the word vampire without this quintessential alpha male hero popping to mind. And he has everything … fame, fortune, money, the title of course, not to mention that deliciously dark bad boy vibe. There isn’t a vampire story that I’ve read, that I haven’t found myself, at some stage comparing the hero to the inimitable Count himself.

Sorry all you young contemporary vampires, but its got to be said. He set the standards, and still does for me.
