Others have a more romantic view of the vampiric appeal. "I think vampires are very dark, and women have a tendency to want to save them," says Feehan. After Bram Stoker, Anne Rice and Joss Whedon (who created the venerated Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Feehan is the person most credited with popularizing the neck gripper as bodice ripper. A fiftysomething grandmother from north of San Francisco, she has written 30 books since 1998 about the Carpathians, an undead race of mainly men, and their struggle to find undying love.

...would do the inside work and leave the outside work to others. The campaign team described a parade in which Cheney would meet and greet voters.

...equal parts athletes and punk-feminist performance artists (with drag-queeny noms de skate like Venis Envy and Miss Conduct); they wear Catholic-schoolgirl skirts and fishnets and deal out bruising blows. "You can be completely feminine and athletic, threatening and sexy," says a skater of the sport's appeal. Gorgeously shot and structured like a drama, each episode delves into the lives of skaters, some fighting off demons, others blowing off steam. As their offtrack dramas climax on a sweaty track in an old airplane hangar, their cheesy competition becomes transcendent, just as good, cheesy...
