“A great numb feeling washes over me as I let go of the past and look forward to the future. Pretend to be a vampire. I don't really need to pretend, because it's who I am, an emotional vampire. I've just come to expect it. Vampires are real. That I was born this way. That I feed off of other people's real emotions. Search for this night's prey. Who will it be?”

subtext, stall (DELAY)


Subtext or undertone is content of a book, play, musical work, film, video game, or television series which is not announced explicitly by the characters (or author) but is implicit or becomes something understood by the observer of the work as the production unfolds. Subtext can also refer to the thoughts and motives of the characters which are only covered in an aside. Subtext can also be used to imply controversial subjects without specifically alienating people from the fiction, often through use of metaphor.

Italian dig unearths medieval "vampire-woman" 

Italian researchers believe they have found the remains of a female "vampire" in Venice, buried in a mass grave with a brick jammed in her mouth to prevent her feeding on other corpses. The grave on a small island in the Venice lagoon contains victims of a plague which swept the city in the 16th century. Anthropologists from the University of Florence said the unusual burial is thought to be the result of an ancient vampire-slaying ritual. They said the discovery supported the medieval belief that vampires were behind the spread of plagues like the Black Death.



Second corpse found amid Cologne archive debris 

More than a week after the collapse of a city archive in the western German city of Cologne, German state media have reported that the second body found has been identified as a 24-year-old student who was believed to be in an adjacent building, which also partially caved in. Initial investigations suggest the building collapsed due to tunnelling work for a new underground transport line. The archive building contained a large number of manuscripts relating to Europe's medieval heritage as well as works of great authors and composers.

Spotlight:

Which came first, the vampire or the vampire bat? If you get bitten on the neck tonight, on Halloween, a vampire is most likely to blame. The legends of immortal blood-sucking humans have been around for centuries. The earliest reference to the word vampire, meaning "blood-monster," is from the Hungarian Magyar language, long before vampire bats were discovered by Spanish explorers in South America in the 1500s. Bram Stoker, the author of the most famous vampire novel, Dracula, was so fascinated upon hearing about these furry creatures that he incorporated them into his story, allowing Dracula to transform into a bat at will. But, do not fear. Unlike vampire humans, vampire bats do not kill their victims or transform them into immortal monsters; in fact they might even save them. The numbing, anti-coagulating toxin that the bats inject into their prey has been proven to help blood flow in stroke victims.
