This piece explores the concept of the Vampire not as a character, but as a representation of our own neglected inner selves.
Why are vampires present in some way in every culture regardless of time or place?
Perhaps because these seductive beings represent many unsolved problems in human nature. It’s fascinating to discover how we human beings created the vampire as a projection of ourselves, in order to bear our own obscurity. Vampires are seductive and exciting because we relate to them. They are a pernicious reflection of our inner repression, idealised in romantic fantasy storytelling.
The implication of the fantasy of the vampire is that while vampires need the blood force of humans for their existence, we humans need vampires too, in order to put up with ourselves.
