Why did vampires become the default "sexy" monsters of western literature?
Post Body
The mythology of vampires seems to often depict them as little more than undead/possessed blood-drinking creatures to be afraid of.
And yet they became dark romantic bad boys/girls in stories like Dracula and Carmilla. But why did they specifically get this treatment?
And where did their ubiquitous traits like the weakness to sunlight and immortality come from?
