Loving this - it's the quote for the start of my book:
…we regard it with a sort of mystic horror and superstitious loathing. It will ask another hundred years of fine writing and hard thinking to cure us of the prejudice, and make us feel towards this ill-omened tribe with something of ‘the milk of human kindness’, instead of their own shyness and venom.
William Hazlitt On the Pleasure of Hating
PS talking of Spiders and not vampires but it kind of works.
