Vampires certainly have come a long way from the traditional demons to the present gliterry, heart dropping studs that the fiction series Twilight has made out to be.
The "otherness" as explored by authors in the twentieth and twenty-first century perhaps alludes to the depicted"others" within our own society. Our phobias had shaped the vampires into blood-sucking demons (perhaps to portray certain cultures as well) and now it is directed towards these exoticisms that we had once shunned.
