vampire romance

Fanged seduction story

Vampire romance is a fiction genre centered on love affairs between vampires and humans, or among vampires themselves.

The stories typically blend gothic atmosphere, supernatural danger, and erotic tension—the vampire's predatory nature creating both threat and forbidden attraction.

The genre flourished after Anne Rice's novels and exploded with *Twilight*: She reads nothing but vampire romance.
