Do Vampires Appear In Literature

Vampires appear in literature quite often they are, after all, quite the common monster. There have been rumors of vampires, although they didn’t use the name, since the greeks, and probably earlier. They’re said to have originated in Persia though. Vampires actually didn’t get their name until people discovered while digging up graves some corpses were had limbs chewed off, and sometimes fabric was missing from inside the coffin, and someone wrote an essay about it in 1733. They first appeared in a piece of literature in a poem called The Vampire, in 1748.
Vampires are really cool monsters, and they have so many interesting qualities, for instance they can turn into bats, wolves, and fog/mist. They can also hypnotise people. Unfortunately

they can’t enter someone else's house, although they could just be polite by doing that. You know what else would suck? (Pun intended) not being able to see your face ever, which is something vampires can’t do since they can’t be seen in mirrors or pictures. Oh and they can’t have garlic, or have any crosses at any time at all.
You might be thinking to yourself, well what makes a vampire a monster? They just sound human with cool abilities, and some disadvantages. Well they are human, or rather they WERE human. You see Vampires are dead humans, with amazing abilities, and terrible disadvantages, like not being able to be in the sun, otherwise they die. Another thing that makes vampires a monster? Well they suck your blood. Thats right, vampires need YOU for your blood (donate now to your local charity).
Don’t worry about encountering a vampire though, they do have weaknesses, aging just isn’t one of them. There have been many ways to kill vampires throughout fiction, beheading, burning, shoving a wooden stake through their heart, silver, and sunlight. There are lots of way to identify them too, for instance if you take a picture with them they won’t be there, and if you happen to have a mirror nearby, look at them through it, if they’re there then they’re not a vampire. My personal favorite way to identify a vampire though is spilling something, no not a liquid, something like rice, if they’re a vampire then they’ll have the uncontrollable urge to count it, so if ever you’re not sure as to whether or not you should behead a person, because you don’t know whether or not they’re a vampire, spill some rice, or jelly beans or something, it’ll be funny.
The natural enemy of the vampire is the vampire slayer, basically regular humans who devote their life to killing vampires. In conclusion, vampires are cool, but don’t be one, you’ll live and your loved ones will die, and you’ll basically be a murderer.
