mokie: Earthrise seen from the moon (Default)
I've been wondering about that part of modern vampire mythology in which killing a vampire cures everyone they've infected.

I think it's modern vampire mythology, at least. Not part of the original folklore about a fear of infectious death, but part of the fiction, a fantasy about being able to undo death that accidentally loops back into that original folklore - one (permanent) death dragging a whole family (back) into the grave.

About dream/reading tags

y-* tags categorize dreams.

For types: beyond the obvious, there are dreamlets (very short dreams), stubs (fragment/outline of a partially-lost dream), gnatter (residual impression of a lost dream).

For characters: there are roles (characters fitting an archetype), symbols (characters as symbols), and sigils (recurring figures with a significance bigger than a single dream's role/symbolism).

x-* tags categorize books.

Material is categorized primarily by structure, style and setting. If searching for a particular genre, look for the defining features of that genre, e.g. x-form:nonfic:bio, x-style:horror, x-setting:dystopian.
