Please answer the question:

In the short story A Kiss at Midnight [PDF file size 219 KB], the vampire is a female, using a very contemporary approach to finding her victims. How does the change from male to female vampire and female to male victim impact the reader perception of vampires?

Please answer the question:

In the episode of “Buffy vs. Dracula,” Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 5, Episode 1, we are presented with a look at Count Dracula that is both humorous and serious. He asserts that a vampire slayer’s power is, like his own, rooted in darkness. Is there some truth to what he says? How does this vampire/slayer pairing compare to the original versions?
