Vampires and romance seem to go hand in glove as one of the most popular genres available in modern fiction, be it written or in moving pictures. You only have to search for ‘love and vampires’ on Google to have loads of hits,\u00a010 Vampire Stories That Are More Romantic Than Twilight: Breaking Dawn<\/a>\u00a0being only one of them.<\/p>\n

I enjoy a good vampire romance myself, but I also enjoy vampires to be the evil lurking in the dark. Dracula<\/a> is a great example of a crossover between the two extremes and one of my favourite vampire stories, at least in movie form.<\/p>\n

\"Quentin<\/a>When I wrote The Avebury Legacy<\/a> the one thing I was absolutely sure of was that the vampires had to be nasty. I was thinking Salem’s Lot<\/a>, John Carpenter’s Vampires<\/a> and From Dusk till Dawn<\/a>\u00a0when I imagined these vampires, not Twilight<\/a>, Vampire Diaries<\/a> or Anita Blake<\/a>. My vampires in this book are no longer human with human needs. They are killing machines who live for the hunt and for blood. They live in communal groups with an alpha and their spawn; the alpha being the brains and her creations acting more like mindless worker bees than humans.<\/p>\n

This is the fate which awaits my protagonists, Nate and Lexie, if they cannot find a cure for the vampirism infecting them. Usually immediately fatal, turning humans into vampires in hours, Lexie’s magic has slowed down the change, giving them at least a chance. However, her purification ritual won’t last forever and so they need to find the relics from the ancient Avebury ritual which may hold a cure.<\/p>\n

This is where the love comes into my tale. I am a romantic at heart, I admit it, and while I do enjoy fiction that has no romantic relationships in it at all, I love an undercurrent of love\u00a0as well.<\/p>\n

The evolution of Nate and Lexie’s relationship within The Avebury Legacy<\/a> is important to the plot. It is part of the progression\u00a0of their condition as they lose more of their humanity. Their connection helps them to hold on and keep their vampire natures at bay and yet sometimes that connection is what threatens to overwhelm them. This is not a love conquers all<\/em> book, but it\u00a0does have an element of\u00a0love can help people\u00a0stay strong when all seems lost<\/em>.<\/p>\n
