About Gothic Vampire

Term gothic vampire can be considered an oxymoron. Most stories about vampires, like Bram Stoker’s comes from the gothic era, and many consider vampires to be a Goth symbol. So when talking about gothic vampire we are truly describing a vampire, which is a fictional creature. A vampire is an “undead” human being. They have a thirst for blood, long fangs, and a killing factor. There is a great deal of vampire lore out there. Some say vampires cannot go out in the sun, while others state it is fine as long as they have a protective ring like those on the Vampire Diaries. Then there is the Twilight interpretation in which vampires prefer grey days, but can go out in the day. Whether it is vampires that turn into bats or humans that just enjoy sucking the blood of others, vampires will always be fable creatures that are cold to the touch, pale of skin, and beings that survive off of animal or human blood.
