Vampire Apocalypse by okamikami111

You know those movies about the apocalypse, always zombies and that one that was is a zombie vampire. Well they were wrong. The apocalypse wasn't created by stupid zombies roaming the earth eating all that once lived or the plants trying to kill you by deducing a gas that makes you commit suicide. It was something far worse, the creatures of the night we thought were myths and fantasies, fanfictions that were wrote about them every day, the demons that took over earth and destroyed humanity were...vampires.

Vampires: An Essay Collection by Sketching_perfection

In recent years, the vampire has become synonymous with eroticism and seduction; he has become, "Gentleman Death in silk and lace, come to put out the candles." (Rice). The vampiric myth, however, dates at least as far back as Mesopotamia, with our modern interpretation of the vampire emerging in the Balkans during the 18th century. With each new iteration of the vampire mythos, the tale has become a mirror of the era in which it was written; each version of the vampire tells us something about ourselves previously unknown. And each iteration adds more complexity to a myth that has sunk its teeth into at least as many countries as people. Like the vampire, we are both devoted to and repelled by faith. We seek to understand the nature of morality and the complexities of sin; we see ourselves in the dark plight of the vampire- in his loneliness. Mankind, like the vampire, is full of outcasts; creatures longing for understanding in a mysterious world. The vampire and mankind are two sides of the same coin. Who is to say which is more real? After all, "the world seems full of good men, even if there are monsters in it." (Stoker).

This dissertation will create an understanding into how the vampire myth has evolved throughout the ages with literature in the 19th century and later on to film, earning it's place as one of the most iconic hero/villians within popular culture.

Apocalyptic Fight by Legends_Lost_Stories

It's been four bloody years since this fuckin virus came about. It's been kind of quiet, with just me, Chris, Liliana, and welp. Life so far has been quiet. Other than the first few months. Killing zombies, and it spread faster than the plague. There are four different types of zombies and creatures. And the villains for our lives other than the bloody no good people running the government today.

Red Dawn by mallemok

7 years ago, an infection spread throughout Earth's population. Many were turned into what can only be described as a zombie. The cause of this infection? Vampires. Vampires have been trying to take over the Earth for centuries. They faced many problems, the main one being their lack of numbers. Turning humans is a dangerous process for both the humans and vampires. The vampires hired scientists to create a synthetic venom to turn humans into vampires. Their first prototype was tested prematurely. It gave the human test subjects extreme speed and strength for 1 hour. They escaped and infected hundreds. The infection spread and mutated till the Earth was overrun by different kinds of hungry human - eating zombies. Vampires aren't the only supernatural creatures. Most of the others have gone into hiding, trying to wait it out. Werewolves, however, are the mortal enemies of vampires. They have formed a guard that protects humans day and night. Dogs are a man's best friend right?
