Assignment 2

I found a very interesting site (http://strangedayz.co.uk/2007/09/highgate-vampire.html ) that talks about various incidents of reported vampire attacks in London from 1922 to 2007, I found it interesting mostly because when we hear about vampire attacks we think of the 18th or 19th centuries, not the 20th. This site also goes into detail about other paranormal activity in the UK, specifically the London area.

As for the Poe stories, I have read Usher many times and there are elements of all the characters that to me scream vampire, from the obvious aversions to sunlight to their solitude. Vampires are not pack-dwelling creatures, they live on their own, hunt alone, not only that but Poe's very language hints to the undead.
