Loved the structure of this story, Bill. How neat that you set it up is as a scientific paper. And the conclusion was perfect!

Thanks, Justin. It's true: During all my free time I read scientific papers. ;-)

I"m glad you enjoyed How Not to Kill a Vampire.

“Conclusions: We’re screwed.” Love it!

Of course, after a while I think the vampires are going to be screwed as well when they run out of food. By the way, many years ago there was an anthology published called “Under The Fang” which had many vampire short stories with the common theme of vampires taking over the world. It’s available in paperback on Amazon. Might want to check it out.

Vampires are not just powerful, immortal creatures, but they're pretty smart, too. All that accumulated knowledge from many millennium of walking the Earth.

I'll check out Under the Fang. It sounds like my kind of story anthology.

I'm glad you liked How Not to Kill a Vampire.

Scientific papers in the real world need to be as interesting to read as this.

Assuming these vampires need to drink human blood to survive, the monsters will eventually starve to death when all of humanity is wiped out. Hooray?

Unless the vampires develop an immunity to starvation. Then I guess they’ll just be immortal forever.

Vampires are mysterious creatures, perhaps beyond our comprehension.
