It was great, they are all as wonderful in person…

Different Blood by Margaret L. Carter

Different blood flows in their veins--but our blood quenches their thirst.

Even before the bloodsucking Martians of H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds, however, popular fiction contained a few vampires who were members of alien species rather than supernatural undead. Even…
