Good evening, fellow novelites.
In this pleasant occasion, I am reading the excellent Twilight novels. The use of the vampire and the werewolf as archetypal exaggerations of the perfect prince and wild boy archetype is definitely noteworthy. It provides a romantic re-framing of what is a common struggle in the world of horror, as seen in the underworld series, to name a single example.
It also reminds us the importance of the possessive love in the vampire genre. These elements were present in the vampyre and in the carmilla, the two big vampire stories, and can be traced all the way back to the vampire by Ossenfelder, and alas seems to have been forgotten in recent days, where narrative focuses exclusive on physical eroticism.
We'll see each other tomorrow, where we will discuss how much of a incel revenge fantasy the count of montecristo is.
