Zombies are overdone. I write about vampires and the pain of being immortal and loveless, and the fragile beauty of that one special mortal. I feel there's an under-exploited niche to be filled here.

Oh god yes. Right in the eye socket.
Although I reserve that particular hate for Sergei Lukyanenko, author of the Night watch series. The really annoying part was that I also read them before I started writing mine, and it only sunk in five months in.
