I'm writing an epistolary novel that follows a troubled detective who stumbles upon some vampires in his city.
They're going to be played down, and more down to earth than what we commonly see in fiction (no bursting into flames during the day, no retractable fangs, no turning into bats, etc) but I'm still worried that just using the word "vampire" may be making people groan these days.
I want whatever he finds (or thinks he finds, he may or may not be losing his grip) to be some kind of supernatural monster that preys upon the living, but I'm not sold on what.
What do you guys think? Are they too played out?
