    • Abstract:
      The article examines the cultural obsession for vampire stories in the wake of the growing popularity of novels about vampires including "Twilight," by Stephenie Meyer, and "Thirsty," by Tracey Batemann. According to the author, the popularity of the myth is mainly due to its great potentials for ideas and the romance resonates with readers' desire for radical love. Although Christians are fascinated by the powerful theme of separation from God and redemption, the author says that vampire stories are a relatively safe way to explore human nature.
