University to hold sexy vampire conference | Metro.co.uk: "The conference, called Open Graves, Open Minds: Vampires And The Undead In Modern Culture, is believed to be the first such event in the UK.
It aims to put British vampire fiction 'back on the map' after recent American dominance in the genre. And with many young people gripped by the recent Twilight vampire books and films and the True Blood television series, the University of Hertfordshire hopes the event will encourage students of all ages to study literature."
Hat tip to Jeff Meyerson.

It includes a paper on Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse.

And watch lots of Hammer films from the 1960s.
