Reply to comment by Unlucky_Associate507 in Twilight could've been so much better. by mushroomgoth

I think my personal favourite type of vampire is the vampires in Skulduggery Pleasant. The sunlight binds them to their human form, and at night, they literally rip off their human skin to reveal this animalistic creature with no control.

There's also the fact that there's a vampire written into a few of the books that creepily obsesses over the main character and only exists to make fun of Edward Cullen, and I find it so stupidly funny

I think the skullduggery pleasant vampire is pretty brilliant and it works with the metaphor of vampires as exploiters. Like I see them as sort of like old men who marry young women and vampirically live off their youth... but your skullduggery pleasant is brilliant to: wealthy men like LISK (long Island serial killer) who appear normal and pleasant on the surface but have such horrible fantasies that they let out when no one can see them.

I think if Smeyers had wanted to create beautiful immortal people who can sometimes be prats but are basically so above humans that we can't really judge them... she could have used Fae. Heck Sarah Jay Maas even has her character become a Fae and Smeyers could've thought that up.
