I blame Anne Rice and her damnably introspective and whiny vampire who got interviewed. Shame of the whole vampire community, he was.

with humor and ridicule back in the 40's.
I was sure it was going to be The Hunger Games, but that clearly didn't have the staying power of sparkling vampires. Too close-ended of a storyline.
