I have to say I love Dracula, it's one of my favorite books. However I can't stand most modern vampire stories. My personal opinion is that it's because in Victorian times sex and intimacy and what not was very taboo and people had a great fear of things like that, so all that fearful energy was poured into the vampire stories. But nowadays people don't really think like that, so vampires are just sorta boring pretty boys.
