So today in my English class, I spent idk a good hmm....10 mins talking to my friend about a book I’m currently reading ( Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter). I must say I’m very surprised with the book.

It is thought that this being feeds on animals and humans alike for blood, and it scares people. So my friend and I then started to talk about the inspiration for vampires. I brought up the chupacabra, which I think is an ugly looking dog-like creature that hunts animals as a means of food. I’ve never seen 1, but they say it hunts sheep and brutally kills the animal, with blood all over the place. So there’s one. My friend then brought up bats…I thought about it…that would have been a good inspiration for the idea of vampires and the comparison. Vampires are commonly associated with bats because due to
