Ye of Little Faith

In October of 2009 an article published in an Australian newspaper questioned whether the vampire craze would be able to maintain its popularity or if it would burn out like so many other fads, citing the short-lived onslaught of penguin movies as an example. At the time the article was written both The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant were set to hit the big screen. Three years later vampires are still a prevalent part of mainstream media with the blockbuster releases of Dark Shadows, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Breaking Dawn Part II, and Underworld: Awakening this year alone. Not to mention the continued presence of television shows such as True Blood  and The Vampire Diaries or books, mainly romance novels for both adults and young adults and teens, such as The Black Dagger Brotherhood series and the Morganville Vampires YA series.When you step into a bookstore you often see a display set up (usually in the YA section) devoted to vampire books.
