Lev 17:11
For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one's life.
>>Ah, yes, the vampire genre, being introduced to kids younger and younger...
I had a gay friend back in the early 1990’s when the “cool vampire” genre was first getting started and he explained to me that the “cool vampire” is about homo-eroticism. I forget the whole explanation (because he was working on a Masters in Psychology and he could spin some long-winded explanations), but it really did make sense. As the vampires kept getting more and more androgynous, it became even more apparent.
