It was then, and remains now, a ridiculously wrong statement. Think of all the hurtful words we utter: &#8220;retard&#8221;, &#8220;that&#8217;s so gay&#8221;, &#8220;homo&#8221;, &#8220;bitch&#8221;, &#8220;slut&#8221;, &#8220;fat ass&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading so many vampire stories in which the vampires aren&#8217;t human hunting killers that I&#8217;ve kind of forgotten about the original vampires. The undead vampires. The vampires that kill us. Several of the recent vamp mythos have kind of neutered the horror story vampires, turning them into creatures to be lusted after, idolized, [...]]]></description>

Specifically these books, because they are what I most write about and talk about when I&#8217;m talking about things I love to read, but we all know there are many adult series that have graphic sex in them.
