The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Back in the day, we were told by those before us that vampires are nasty, evil creatures of the night—the undead boogey man. Being told about the ghouls and goblins that stalk in the shadows. We were shown vampires to be ugly bloodsuckers. However, as times have changed over the last two decades, that is no longer the case.
Vampires have struck our hearts, becoming a motif for primal lust and taboo fantasies.

Fantasies that we dare not speak of within our social circles.


Growing up, we looked at vampires as the monsters that hid under our beds.
Now we fawn over them, ache and yearn for them as if our brain chemistry has been altered to see that there is more to the undead than meets the eye.

We crave this desire to be taken by the vampire, enthralled in the arms of their darkness. A lingering hunger for humanity that has long since expired in their lifetimes. Our brains were wired to view them as a threat. Viewing them as a danger. Alerts and alarms are buzzing in our heads, with big yellow caution signs signaling for us to stay away.

Coincidentally, our hearts and sexual organs are exploding with excitement. We know we should stay away, but we secretly find pleasure in the thrill of encountering one.

As the saying goes.

"People fear what they do not understand."

Naturally, this holds because since we do not understand the vampire, we fear it. Then again, our curiosities have been piqued, and therefore, this art and seduction of vampires begins to morph our sense of their morality in our eyes. Whether they are the monsters they are made to be v.s the beings we want them to be.

Just like the infamous Psychoanalytic theory created by Sigmund Freud regarding the debate of "Nature" versus "Nurture". Freud's work on psychoanalysis of the mind is broken into three components. The ID, Ego, and SuperEgo.

The ID representing the unconscious mind one is born with, which represents the biological drive and instinct. For vampires, their ID (Nature) would be their makeup to hunt, kill, and survive because it is what they are. The SuperEgo (Nurture) represents the moral consciousness and behavior based upon the upbringing, environmental settings, and societal conditions. Vampires are subjected to being the monsters they're born as, but also fighting against their morality and nature to be stone-cold killers. Just as we humans fight against our moralities, knowing right from wrong, being self-aware/lacking self-awareness of the risks and dangers, all due to our upbringings and how we were raised. Lastly, the third component is the Ego (The Balance), which serves as a mediator to balance out the born nature with the nurture, learned morals.

Truthfully, as humans, we struggle with our SuperEgos because we learned at a young age what to do and how to act when encountering a monster. We were taught to run and hide. Instead, now we invite and fawn. This art of the vampire has become increasingly seductive; we're drawn into their pure pitch-black shadows, being enveloped and in awe of what is meant to be evil.

Our bodies and our hearts seek comfort in what they have to offer, our brains screech out to us to keep away. A mystifying push and pull.
