Sounds good to me, although I always love hearing more info on various myths. But in the end I do believe it's Eddies call. You're incredibly knowledgeable that's really cool it's been a while since I've met someone as informed as you. I'd have to say that my knowledge base largely lies in variations on the theme of the Vampire including and after Stoker's Dracula. His version of the vampire has always really spoken to me as far these things go. And laugh all you want but my favorite version of a werewolf actually comes from Jim Butchers Dresden File: Fool Moon. Infact my avatar is actually that particular book's cover. And for clarities sake its the Loup Garou Butcher presents in the novel since there are actually something like six different types of "werewolves" that appear in the book.

I've said it before (in a different thread, in a different place, different times), my favorite vampires are the original old lore ones...you know, the sucky ones that are pretty much OCD. Can't cross salt barriers like ghosts, have to count all the rice grains in a bowl, avoids religious symbols/symbols make them nervous, can't cross running water, have to be invited into a house, etc...well, that's actually a bunch of different lore stacked on top of each other.

My favorite vampires are...Malkavians, from Vampire: The Masquerade. The OCD vampire is my ideal interest vampire, and Malkavians are pretty much as close as it gets for me.
(Also, I think either Stoker's or another book's vampires...they can travel under the sun, but they lose their powers? I can't quite remember.)
